Moules! Empty mussel shells at Restaurant le Balico in Menton. They were so good!
The shells appear to be black until you take a flash photo and then you see the beautiful blues and pearl colours on the interior of the shells.
Note: Since posting the above, sadly Le Balico has been sold and is now under new management.
Today is once again Theme Day in the City Daily Photo community. To see how bloggers from all over the world have interpreted today's Theme, please click here to view thumbnails.
The colours are stunning, very inky. A good choice for Theme Day and lunch or dinner!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your meal! :)
ReplyDeleteEmpty shells, how appropriate. Happy theme day.
ReplyDeleteAnother good choice! I can only imagine how delicous those were!
ReplyDeletetu as profité d'un bon repas de moules pour faire la photo du mois, voila une bonne idée ;o)
ReplyDeletethis "empty" would leave me with a sense of satisfaction (from a great mea1) and sadness that they were all gone.
ReplyDeleteI love the scattering of detritus, Jilly. And the higgeldy-piggeldyness of the arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the salt from here ...
Wow...that must be so delicious.
ReplyDeleteBtw, very nice theme day pic.
Miam miam! Even better with cider or white wine...!
ReplyDeleteOh, how you suffer for your craft ( ;
ReplyDeleteInspired response to the 'empty' theme.
Jilly, I know you didn't make the effort just for the theme of the month....
ReplyDeleteYum, We have relatively larger green lip mussel as NZ delicacy.
ReplyDeleteYou had to take one for the team to get the shot huh? Good idea.
ReplyDeleteNext time I eat mussels I will have to look for the shades of color on the inside.
ReplyDeleteThe variety of interpretations of the empty theme is amazing. You have chosen two very different photos, as did Julie and I on our two Daily Photo sites.
Hi Jilly, love your interpretation of the theme ... also your mention of the unexpected colors.
ReplyDeleteJ'arrive trop tard ..
ReplyDeleteAh! Even with all the rain we've had here, you set me thinking with this shot. I have a delicious recipe for mussels with wine sauce. I'm breaking it out tonight! LOVE mussels!
ReplyDeleteHow very Mentonais and humorous ! I remember having mussels with you when I was there in February. Great choice for today's theme
ReplyDelete:-)))
This is one of the nicest interpretation of this Theme Day. Very creative, I hope you helped to create this emptiness...
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo for todays theme!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Jilly! You found a way to show that empty can be good and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Now you've given me an itch for a plate of moules marinière without frites !
ReplyDeleteMmm wish I had been there before they were empty
ReplyDeleteI haven't had my breakfast yet, and now you've put me in the food for seafood! Mmmmm....
ReplyDeletemmmm!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and great shot!
ReplyDeleteVery, very clever.
ReplyDeleteLovely interpretation and lovely photo. I can feel the satisfaction of that meal just looking at the picture.
ReplyDeleteI think it has been very interesting how varied the responses to the empty theme have been. It is a wide open topic that people have taken to in very interesting ways.
Yes, moules are the best! Just a lovely composition and color here JIlly. My, you have to come up with TWO theme day posts. Both were wonderful. Now I"m wondering if I'll be lucky enough to be in Paris at the end of the TDF!!! I'm off to the internet to see. How could I be that lucky!!!
ReplyDeleteV
DAMN,
ReplyDeleteI'll be in the countryside by the end. I've missed it all.... Soldes, Fete de Musique, TDF ..... but wait, I got many weeks in Paris. I'm happy!!! :)
