Pine


This terrace of this restaurant has its feet in the sea and diners sit looking over the bay to Roquebrune and Menton. The tree, I believe, is an Umbrella Pine (Pinus pinea) sometimes called the Stone Pine - but the experts amongst you might tell me it's an Aleppo Pine (Pinus halepensis). Both are common along the Mediterranean. Whatever tree it is, I love it.

  1. It looks more like the second....I think though I'm not an expert.

  2. Sorry it doesn't match at all but Roquebrune remind me those Summer love you keep down in your heart. It was 1970 and Michelle her name...
