This two minute timelapse (over 2,000 photos) of a flight between San Francisco and Paris is absolutely amazing, even without the surprise cameo of the great northern lights. All shot with a Canon 5Dmk2.

Fisherman Catches Legendary Giant Goldfish in France

Raphael Biagini didn’t know what he was getting himself in to when he set the hook on a fish in the south of France. As it turns out he had hooked in to the most legendary fish in the lake, and after a ten minute gruelling battle, he stepped in to the water and lifted this huge 30lb orange koi from the water. This fish was no stranger to the locals, in fact some had spent over six years trying to catch the legendary “giant goldfish.”

Epic Carp Battle Photo!

Quite possibly the most epic fishing photo I’ve ever seen, certainly one involving carp. A lot of people think of carp as a garbage fish, but in reality they pack some of the most intense freshwater battles you’ll find.

French photographer and biologist Laurent Ballesta captures the hour- long battle between a 15kg (33lb) carp and his brother at a small lake near Montpellier in southern France

Le Mouching- Now With angloPhone Support!

Our good friends at Le Mouching wrote to us to say that they are now posting bilingually in French and English!

Despite the fact that I took French throughout elementary school (in the US, not Canada for those interested), I can only say a few phrases with confidence* and as I’m sure many of you were I read Le Mouching through Google translate. The new english publication of Le Mouching is much more enjoyable to read, and I can even try brushing up on my French vocabulary at the same time!

Right now Le Mouching is also having a photo contest where you can win a two day guided fly fishing trip in France (airfare not included of course). So far my favourite photo is one that doesn’t even have a fish in it!

Keep up the good work guys!

* Believe it or not my French is even worse than my Spanish, at least I can understand Spanish!
