[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824393, member: 53455"] Thanks a lot ! The daily photo for today is... [B]The agony of the [I]Colbert[/I][/B] The [I]Colbert[/I] missile-launching battleship was built between 1954–56 and decommissioned in 1991. It is famous for, [I]inter alia,[/I] having carried General de Gaulle and his wife over the Atlantic for their historic 1967 trip to Québec, during which De Gaulle concluded a prominent and iconic speech in Montréal with the words [I]Vive le Québec libre![/I] (“Hail Free Québec!”), which delighted all French Canadians and enraged the others, not to mention Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s government. Before it was dismantled, [I]Colbert[/I] was parked for a couple of years in the Navy cemetery of Landévennec, where I had the good fortune to spot it in 2015. Nikon D810, Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* ZF.2 135mm, ƒ/2 lens, manual focus, handheld. [ATTACH type="full"]410557[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
