Here are some in the manners of imitating the cry of the cock throughout the world.

Gallic, the cock? Hum, not really. Our ancestors didn't have particular love for this bird. It's to the Romans that one quite simply owes the first bringing together between the occupants of Gaule and the proud bird... because in Latin, "gallus" at the same time means "cock" and "Gallic"! Here and there, on a piece of money or a zinco, the kings of France make him a small place, but it remains a minor emblem.
To the Revolution, the cock leaves the shade finally and becomes animal fetish. For little time. The Napoleon emperor returns it in his farmyard because it prefers other feathers and another nozzle: those of the eagle.
The cock returns with the Republic: it settles even in the Elysium, the residence of the president of the Republic, in the form of a sculpture in the grid of the palate - this "grid of the cock" is always there.
But it's finally during the First World War that the cock becomes a high-speed motorboat. The French caricaturists adore it. It then symbolizes France, country-woman and courageous, vis-a-vis with the cruel eagle selected like emblem by the German emperor. Since, it became one of the nonofficial symbols but classics of the Republic: when in 1944 General de Gaulle makes print in Algiers the first stamps of released France, it makes draw a cock singing the cock-a-doodle-doo of the victory!
And when the team of France of football or Rugby plays, it's often enough to search on the stadium to find, on a corner of lawn, a true cock in flesh and feathers released by a malicious spectator.

This beautiful specimen is just behind our future house which is built quickly, and called we it Marcel. He is proud and took our son like rival, they are looked at, and my son is done larger and the threatening air what puts Marcel in all these states, its reddened peak, he is raised on these pins and measures Romain of a look of winner. It is too funny to look at.

For those which know me, they know that I puts much less photographic publications than at the accustomed one, here are the reasons. I speak to you again about our house, his construction took lead and in the place of the end of May, we will have the keys on March 28, 2008 is with two months in advance and especially the day of our 27th birthday of marriage to me and Daniel. It's much of joy and also much of work all around construction, much of decisions to be taken and moreover to think of installation and the decoration of our "Home sweet Home". Also I have less time to consecrate to the site TL, and to publish photographs, therefore I warn you that I made the decision not to put during several months, that two photographs during the week, therefore one will have will be on the topic of Friday of our friend Helkoryo and its good idea.
For the rest, I would have thus more time, the evening to discover your work with you, my friends and to see the new members.
I hope that you will understand and that you will continue to come to leave me your messages.
At Friday thus, the topic of Helkoryo being red (see on the forum)

Bonsoir Corinne ,
Premièrement je suis heureux de te voir de retour . Je comprend ton manque de temps . Cette photo de coq est splendide . La tête, les yeux et le bec sont très net . Les couleurs sont également d'une grande qualité et Marcel est bien mis en valeur grâce à une petite DOF qui le dégage du fond . Beau travail et merci de le partager .
Daniel

Hello Corinne,

Angela

Bonsoir Corinne
Il est bien beau et fier ce coq, tu aurais pu le garder pour le thème de vendredi, il a la couleur voulue.
Jolie exposition bien nette des détails du plumage et crop intéressant donnant un splendide gros plan. L,arière plan flou laisse toute l'espace au sujet principal.
Bravo
Serge

Adequate DOF, sharpness is good. Brilliant colors of marcel.
quiquiriqui!

Bonsoir Corinne,
Bien, il a fier allure ton coq avec sa crète rouge et son plumage "pied de poule"! :)
Le coq a la part belle au Québec aussi où on le retrouve comme girouette sur beaucoup de maisons traditionnelles et aussi comme élément décoratif.
Ta photo lui fait honneur pour la qualité des détails et des couleurs. Bravo! Annie

PS/ Bonne chance dans tes travaux! J'ai aussi moins de temps pour Tl. Beaucoup de dossiers retiennent mon attention. C'est quoi la retraite, déjà?

jolies couleurs
je te souhaite bon courage pour tes travaux, nous, nous y sommes encore aussi,

Nad

bonjour Corinne
oui d'un pays à l'autre les coqs ne parlent pas la même langue, un peu étrange...
bonne netteté et très bons détails
amicalement
jo

Bonsoir Corinne,
Il est beau ce coq et aurait être publié demain, tant il arbore fièrement sa crête rouge ! Bonne position dans l'image. C'est peut-être lui qui a fait s'activer les ouvriers dans la construction, c'est rare de voir un chantier prendre comme ça de l'avance !
Merci pour la rédaction de la note, je saurai que le coq chinois aboie dorénavant ! Bonne préparation de votre installation dans votre nid douillet. Mâitre coq aura alors tout loisir de vous sortir tôt du lit le matin..
Cordialement,
Antoine.

Bonsoir Corinne
Tellement heureuse de te revoir, tu me manquais ...
Superbe coq à la crète bien rouge qui représente si bien notre pays. Je l'entends tous les matins (j'ai une ferme derrière ma maison ;) ... j'adore !
Alors 'Cocorine' !!!!
Bisous
Marylou
