Summer Nights - 2
A balmy summer evening - Place aux Herbes under the plane trees. Restaurants either side - Le Lido on the left, Le Balico on the right. Beautiful old buildings, musicians to entertain, good food and wine. Where are you? Menton!
Note: Since posting this, sadly Le Balico has been sold and is now under new management.

Great composition in this photo: the fountain in the centre, the horizontal lines of the rows of spectators, the vertical lines of the trees and the beautiful, atmospheric lighting in the background.

ReplyDeleteTell me,those windows above this area, are they belonging to residences or hotels or...?
I missed this photo yesterday. What a beauty. The place is so inviting, it reminds me of the lovely nights we spent in Andalusia last summer. Simply delightful.
ReplyDeleteThis scene reminds me of Aix-en-Provence sooo much. The trees and fountain, the buildings, the crowd.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scenery.
