Welcome in my gallery of images about history and nature. All pictures here were shot or created by myself (Eric Gaba, as username Sting).

For an optimal visualization of the colours, consider using Mozilla Firefox or Safari web browsers with their colour management enabled.

I authorize anybody to use my photographs, maps or schemes outside the Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia in different languages, Commons, Wikibooks, Wikisource, etc.), on an other Web site or in publications, for commercial or non-commercial use. No written authorization is necessary, as long as you respect the terms of the license under which the image is publicized (especially that I am credited as author, when required), but a message from you on my discussion page with a reply address would be greatly appreciated.

This user is a Wikigraphist from the Atelier graphique to whom you can propose images or maps to improve.
