About turn

After yesterday's 'dark and stormy' photo, let's turn around and look in the opposite direction. I'm still standing by Le Bastion, but here you see Cap Martin in the distance, low cloud hangs over the hills.

In yesterday's photo, by showing you only rough rocks, sea and fort it was all rather foreboding. Now this is a little more cheerful, isn't it? The thing is, the two photos were taken exactly one minute apart yet give a completely different atmosphere, don't they?

  7. The blue sky and the green grass give a completely different feel to this photo ... Nice path to walk along as well.

  8. The curved walkway softens the sharp angles of the rocks. Nice scene.

  9. I love both photos Jilly but you are right about the different ambience in each one. I think I'd fancy a stroll from Cap Martin to Italy along that beautiful boardwalk.
