In the run-up to the publication of my new book, The Great Resistance, on 6 Jan 2026 (link in bio), I’ll have a daily post featuring photos from two decades of research trips, along with a snippet from each of the book’s 35 chapters. Today: Guadeloupe
💙📚#booksky #thegreatresistance #history
‘French officials also fretted about marronage and rebellion. Much detail went into their Code Noir, down to the “large sticks” that an enslaved person was prohibited from carrying in Article XV. A number of points addressed the issue of slave autonomy. In addition to bans on weapons, slaves from different enslavers were prohibited from gathering “under the pretext of a wedding or other excuse.” There were to be no meetings, under pain of lashing, in “major roads or isolated locations.” Frequent offenders could even face death …’ A copy of the 1685 slave code of France, the Code Noir. A small memorial with a head and shoulders constrained by a chain, commemorating the people of Guadeloupe who fought against re-enslavement by the French in 1802. Behind are small houses, and mountain covered in cloud. Tied to the base of the statue is a bouquet of bright red Heliconia Caribaea flowers. The ruins of a stone windmill on a sugar plantation, next to a dirt road and under a blue sky with large cumulus clouds.

Normandy Mid-Morning Aura

While on the road to Mont Saint-Michel in France, we were graced with this vista of a field with a windmill in the mid-morning light.

The Netherlands does have a ton of issues, but I still love to escape from France to decompress here.

For a bit I'm in another country with local friends. So the mental load of politics from my home country feels lifted from my shoulders and so, I can breathe.

A photo of wind turbines in France that are not typical windmill type with blades. The photo shows a type of wind turbine that looks like a vertical "floor model" fan tower instead but on a much larger scale.

#photography #nature
On a rocky hilltop, the windmill of Cucugnan raises its conical hat to the wind, as if still longing to duel with Don Quixote’s dreams. The surrounding landscape, the golden vineyards, cypresses standing guard, and rooftops huddled shyly, breathes an ancient calm, one only southern France grants when sun and clouds quarrel over the sky. A scene where history and earth join hands, and though the windmill no longer turns, it still tells stories with every stone.

Tilting at windmills is an idiom which means "attacking imaginary enemies", originating from Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote AND it is Trump’s strategy. Trump and the GOP are the party of Don Quixote. #DonQuixoteTrump #WindmillTariffs
