A Ride on the Big Wheel - Baywatch
We're way up in the Big Wheel and this time looking in the opposite direction to yesterday's photograph. About three quarters of the way along this sweep of bay, Menton becomes Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Cap Martin is the cape jutting out to sea at the end of the bay. Monaco is beyond.
I'm so used to photographing from ground level, that to me this bay looks so different. And of course more Matchstick Men and Women (see yesterday's post for the YouTube video).
belle photo de plage, cela fait rever, surtout avec le temps ici
ReplyDeleteYour Lowry take yesterday was surreal a find in the middle of Menton. The sweep of bay from this angle is gorgeou and highlights the wonderful blues of the area.. Is it Venitmiglia you can see from yesterday's image when you mention Italy.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see so many people on the beach in the middle of winter. They all look rugged up for the cold though.
ReplyDeleteIce skating on one side, on the beach on the other. I pick the beach.
ReplyDeleteBabooshka, yes you can see Ventimiglia in yesterday's shot.
ReplyDeleteJ Bar, these photos were taking on January 4 - we had sunshine at the time but still a chill in the air, hence everyone wrapped up warmly. Today - rain. Snow forecast at 400 metres...
This is a beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteHappy Australia Day to you dear Jilly.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying this Big Wheel ride tremendously. What a beautiful day - I trust you're not getting that today and that you're under the rain just like us, but it feels good to dream of blue seas and skies. You can see that people aren't really sunbathing though (lots of clothes on!)
Ice skating by the sea seems such an extraordinary activity to me - just like skiing in Dubai in a way - but I guess as the world goes by we'll see more and more of these oddities! To tell the truth I wouldn't mind trying it though!!!
Just like a postcard.
ReplyDeleteNathalie - yes, rain rain rain and snow promised this afternoon at 400 metres, which is Gorbio, although I'm lower than the village.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view!!!! You live in an equisite (spell?) part of the world. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view! The Philippines is an archipelago so I find it amazing that you can actually see other countries from your ferris wheel!

Please vote for the March theme, if you haven't yet. And please help spread the word too! :)
What a great shot of the view and bay. It is surprising how different things can look at different levels.
ReplyDeleteYou can almost see forever from this big wheel. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteViews do bring surprises, starkness here lookin good. And can I assume you are an ex-pat! and yesterday was a good time with concert and fireworks beside Lake Macquarie. thanks for your interest
ReplyDeleteOh, Jilly, we were just driving the Southern California coast yesterday and coming upon scenes like this in Laguna and and points south, minus the glamour and hotels of course, but these coastal scenes in winter are SO inviting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Australia Day and Happy Lunar New Year to you! I can't wait to see what the big wheel will bring round for us to see tomorrow. Really lovely!
