Liszó - Liszó fishing lake (Zala), Hungary

Le temps s’était immiscé sur les rives de ce lac, enfermant dans sa bulle atemporelle les artifices que l’homme y avait déposé et les colorant des instincts naturels que la postérité offrait à celui qui ne la cherchait point. Chacune des couleurs se mêlaient ainsi avec les teintes environnantes, se perdant chaque jour un peu plus dans l’infinie sagesse des lieux. Dans ce silence de pastel, le temps s’était arrêté.

Time set itself up on the banks of this lake, enclosing in its atemporal bubble the artifices that man had dropped here, and coloring them with the natural instincts that posterity was offering to whoever wasn’t seeking it. Each of the colors were thus mixing up with the environmental tints, losing itself a little more everyday into the endless wisdom of the place. In this silence of pastel, time had stopped.

From inside cultures, people and countries, Léon wants to reflect the world as it is. With and without lines, Léon tries not to lie about what he sees and lets know what people express, and what landscapes tell.
