I spent last Friday in London to attend the prizes award ceremony of the International Garden Photographer of the Year 2019 competition. I had sent in three images and my photograph "Secret Garden" had been selected as a finalist in the "Wildflower Landscapes" category. And I heard at the ceremony that I was awarded second place in that category! Unexpected but really nice! "Secret Garden" will thus be part of the IGPOTY 2019 exhibitions and will also be included in the IGPOTY 2019 book.

I will be present at the Festival International Nature Namur, from October 18 to 21 (10 AM to 6 PM) to show my photographic work on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The festival, located on the sites of the Citadelle of Namur and of Acinapolis, includes many photos exhibitions around the theme of nature (wildlife, plants, landscape,…) A must see for all nature lovers! Moreover, this year, access to all photos exhibitions is free of charge. Click here for more info.

As promised in my previous post, as the Namur Nature Festival is now finished, I will show you my pictures that were selected among the finalists of the contest. It was actually even better than I thought: during the awards ceremony last week, I had the (very nice) surprise to be awarded the Award for best Mini-Serie for the four images shown below.
