Le Bastion, musée Jean Cocteau - 2

The view across to Italy, with a corner of Le Bastion, built in 1619, on the left. You can see another view of this building, now a museum dedicated to Jean Cocteau, at THIS LINK.

    You have so much beauty to photograph all around you. And, the most amazing thing is the most of it is either way up there or way out there and either direction involves lots of exercise. There was a time when I could walk up mountains and did and there was a time when I could jump in the water most anywhere but nowadays I take a bath and count that a blessing and my walking is from the bathroom to the table and to the easy chair and to the office where I type and dream of what might have been if they would have had computers 50 years ago and I had one.

    I am so glad, Jilly, that you went to the newer blog. There will be many, and I repeat the word, "MANY" photographs you never saw. Most have never been published or shown. What I am doing now is creating "categories" like "flowers, "insects," "birds," and so on, and once that is accomplished I will begin to fill them in with all new photos nobody has seen unless you have been in my private mailing list.

    Thanks again.

    Chuckeroon, there was some fairly low cloud this morning when I took this photo but the funny thing is, I also took photos from the Bastion but facing the other direction - ie in the direction of Roquebrune and Monaco and it gives a totally different feel to the photo. Perhaps I'll put it on tomorrow?

    Jilly, may I humbly suggest you try to set your camera down -0.3 even -0.7 (I assume it's digital ). You may find that in the bright sunlight you get more saturated, less washed out colour. Just a thought...wld make it look even more gorgeous. If you are not happy with the result of this slight "underexposure", then just go on as you are.

    Looks foreboding...like something out of "The Count of Monte Cristo" ;-)

    I agree with Isabella. Foreboding is the perfect description.

    Looks like a pretty rugged shoreline. Beautiful but rough.
