horses in the Balearic Islands, flames in California and melting snow in Switzerland… The news of the week in pictures

Lanterns, pennants, a crowd and the horse as the hero of the party. We are in Menorca, in the Balearic Islands, in a din of trumpets. You have to touch and hold the chest of the horse, which rears up. A common dance in a folkloric mess. In Buenos Aires (Argentina)a young boy has so pampered his cows for the Agricultural Show, that he fell asleep on one of them, hugging it. A well deserved rest.

We see chairs, we guess a table. We imagine memories, a life. It’s a house on fire in California (United States)but it could have been in France, Portugal, Spain, Greece or the UK. It is a captivating image, but above all dramatic. Cooler, though. A tongue of ice in the Swiss Alps. A derisory white cover tries to slow down the melting, in advance of two months, but it is already too late. For Swiss specialists, 90% of the glacier mass will have disappeared before the end of the century.
