[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The image editing via PicMonkey works again. The manufacturer of this program has repaired its interface. 2) But there is free access only to the old version of PicMonkey. This is based on the Adobe Flash Player, whose days are numbered because the technology is outdated: why-is-adobe-flash-player-shutting-down 3) It is therefore to be expected that this old version of PicMonkey will not be online for much longer.

Madagascar - Ces orpailleurs qui cherchent de la poudre d’or dans les entrailles des terres aurifères, à proximité de la bourgade d’Ivato ; les voyageurs de passage les assimilent à des cultivateurs. Pourtant, lors de la saison touristique, ils sont nombreux à les apercevoir patauger dans les eaux boueuses. Mais ils sont pressés de se rendre en voiture à Antoetra, le hameau qui est le point de départ d’un trek de plusieurs jours pour visiter les villages et populations montagnardes zafimaniry. Alors, si on ne sait pas que ces familles qui creusent sont à la recherche d’or, on ne leur prête pas attention. Ils se fondent dans ce décor tourmenté.

As at wri…
