Autumn - the Blues


October. Sunshine, chilly at night though. The wind has blown the clouds and pollution away. The best days on the Côte d'Azur often follow the Mistral when you'll see the clearest blue skies - wonderful light.

I don't know the significance of the lines, but don't you love the patterns they create on the water. Perhaps they are nets giving protection against jelly fish, but I don't see the nets.

Taken from les Sablettes beach yesterday. You see the Port of Garavan on the left and beyond that Italy.

  5. It's a beautiful scene, very blue.
    The lines add to the vastness of the scene.

  7. they look like lines laid out to mark a boundary - perhaps for a boat race or parade - but probably not - they add to or even make the perspective on the shot.
