Le lac avait fini par se décider. La décision n'avait pas été facile à prendre, mais devenir une porte des étoiles offrait infiniment plus de débouchés qu'un petit plan d'eau perdu dans la montagne.

The lake had finally made up its mind. It hadn't been an easy decision, but becoming a stargate offered infinitely more opportunities than a small body of water lost in the mountains.

Le Mont Séti s'était mis en tête de décomposer la lumière. Il lui semblait bien qu'il manquait un truc, mais personne ne lui avait dit qu'un prisme noir ne laisserait pas passer grand chose.

Mount Seti had taken it into his head to break down the light. It seemed to him that something was missing, but nobody had told him that a black prism wouldn't let much through.

Today I'm enjoying an evening NOT doing coding until I go to bed - but just thinking about a couple of beautiful hikes we did last autumn which is also a bit relaxing.

(Actually, I'd be keen on trying some videos with transcription :-D)
