“Adeline Spengler extends the poet’s emotion and opens wide her window on a living nature composed of beauties chosen among flowers, trees and, of course, water source of life.”

The animals of the Arctic regions
The Morbihan wildlife photographer, Jean-Marie Seveno, has traveled several times to the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic. From these trips was born this magnificent exhibition where the polar bear holds an important place. He wishes through the image to discover the biodiversity of these distant lands but also to show the consequences of global warming in the poles, very affected areas where the impact on animals is direct and problematic.
