A good place to read


A corner in the beautiful Old Town of Menton. As good a place as any to read a newspaper, so long as there's no water coming out of the spout.

  2. I was thinking the same thing. No water please. So is he sitting in a basin?

  4. Another beautifully compose photograph from you. I love the background so much. It is so interesting and old as a backdrop to the gentleman with the red pants!

  5. Ha, ha. I was just thinking like Jim, about his sitting in the basin.

    A "cool" shot.

  7. We saw several versions of those red duds in Europe - seem to be quite the thing this year.

  8. He does look rather "at ease". I imagine that he is a local man. What a beautiful spot Jilly.

  9. I am hoping they are not red SWEATPANTS. That would surely ruin all my fantasies about French men!

  12. From your photos, I'd say just about every spot in Menton is a good place to do anything!

    Wonderful shot.

  13. I like this photo a lot. I think it would work wonderfully in B&W too, though the colors are gorgeously subtle.
