Where else but in Lausanne could an exhibition of mountain photographs could take place and be beautiful ? The Musée de l’Elysée, run with a firm and creative hand by Tatyana Franck, shows 300 prints selected from its collection of 4 000, on a very Swiss theme, mountains.

Divided in four different sections, Scientific photography, Journey pictures, Mountaineering photos and Fine arts photos, the selection of pictures in black and colorless and color is very diverse and fun. From existence “romantic” to becoming “God’s territory”, mountains have fascinated writers and artists in the 19 th century since Swiss scientist and writer Albrecht von Haller, (1708-1777) wrote “Die Alpen”, an epic poem. Jean Jacques Rousseau is fascinated by mountains and situates the love

Hello,
Welcome on my website. I present you all I can offer as a rock climbing guide: from beginning to big adventures, it will be a pleasure for me to guide you on areas I contain tamed. To guide you on beautiful routes of our region or more far away is for me a true passion.

Reliable, grave and careful, I succeded the French formation of DEJEPS – “Milieux Naturel” at Montpellier, which needs two gym onsight F6c and F7a, and trad climb E4 or F6c/7a on big walls. This diploma is more thorough than old BE (brevet d’état), with a packed programme on trad climbing and sport training.
I’m confident with climbing English speaking, and I spend a lot of time to climb with British adventurers. Furthermore, I traveled for climbing and I see a lot of climbers. Spend good time with foreign is a pleasure and a good opportunity to progress, cause I can show you finest technical climbing of each countries. More, it is a good way to appreciate other cultures. I know British climbing design (travels to Peak District, Cloggy, Gogarth), let’s savor French style! I’m sure to found th
There are certain cars in this business that arrive close to being flawless. This one is the perfect family crossover, that one is the matchless sport sedan. You understand the type. And then there are others that are imperfect, sometimes in a bad way and sometimes in a this-has-an-abundance-of-character way. The 2023 Cadillac Escalade V is the latter. And thanks to some wildly good timing, I got to contribute it with about 50 other gay car enthusiasts over a weekend in Minneapolis.
I thought I was going to be writing about the “regular” Escalade. Those are supremely kind, comfortable, and not at all sporty – perfect for highway miles but less ideal for a backroads blast. My trip to Minneapolis, though, was planned around an annual “pizza run” that covers some 120 miles of advocate roads. Most of rural Minnesota and Wisconsin is flat and straight, these roads and people were neither. And then Cadillac surprised me. The Escalade V would be ready in time for my trip – surprise, have joy on your back roads run.
What Is It?
This is a 2023 Cadillac Escalade V. It is An Escalade as we all know it, but the this-just-won’t-do 6.2 liter V8 is yoinked and replaced with a supercharged ver
“Hello? What is your location?” A random woman’s voice rang out from all 36 of the Cadillac Escalade V’s AKG speakers as I jogged assist to the open driver’s door. I hadn’t crashed – merely stopped aggressively in a straight line – but the Escalade thought I was in what we call a predicament.
My location was in fact Gingerman Raceway, a racetrack halfway between Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois. I’d rented the place to host our first-ever trackcross in the midwest. With plenty of attendees and a fun variety of cars, new and old, I was using the Escalade V as a back vehicle for the event. It spent the weekend transporting people, shuttling antennas and timing gear and speaker stands around the facility, and leading groups of cars around the portion of track we were using at any given moment to performance them the line. Its tow hitch receiver ended up in use once, to pull a broken BMW back in to the paddock.
The Cadillac wasn’t at the track to be driven competitively, or even very hard. That’s not the point of the vehicle, compared to its CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing sedan siblings. It’s more or less “just” an Escalade that’s been made very fast, and making the
Ever since it strike the scene, The Cadillac Escalade has been the operate to get if you want to get noticed. It’s big, it’s splashy, and – to be perfectly sincere – it’s loud.
And that’s the whole point: You generate an entrance in the Escalade, and just because it’s 2021 and golden toilets and gaudiness is stuff of past US presidents, well, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a brief showiness and class in your life. And it doesn’t represent you can’t hold some largess and class, especially if you have room to park it and show it off……
The Escalade is fully redesigned coming out of quarantine. For 2021, there is more of everything: more legroom, more interior space, more room in the third-row…. And that’s an important point: most third-rows are useless. Not this one. It is actually quite serviceable. And not just for your purchases. Adults can use it, but, yes, caution is always advised.
There are five trims available and the price and the weight goes up from the establish. Luxury just drips from this beauty.
My advice: be sure you have plenty of room for the Escalade. It takes up a lot of room and drinks a lot of petrol. Mileage is a decent 21 urban area /
