Procession Votive - First we Walk
Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved.
Like this couple, we are walking to the Procession Votive in Roquebrune village. There's no point in driving as the car parks will be full. We've parked in a side street way below, with access to the old donkey track leading from Menton to Roquebrune. It's not a hard walk as the track is mostly restored but it's uphill all the way and as you can see by these people's clothes - or lack of them - it's a very hot day. Fortunately we'll find benches along the way and can take a rest if we need it.

ils sont courageux, surtout que j'imagine qu'il devait faire tres chaud
ReplyDeleteI look forward to enjoying this historic procession up the hill in the heat through the insight of your commentary and camera shared with my computer while in the air conditioned comfort of my reclining chair a half a world away.
ReplyDeleteAn old wife and an old hasband. His back looks like strong.
ReplyDeleteI think two persons are placed on the very good position in this picture.
I would like to say "Have a nice walking!"
This couple looks strong enough for the journey. And there is shade to help cool them (and you). Thank you for taking us on this trek. Wish I could climb it on my own two legs beside you, but this is the next best thing. And going home will be all downhill.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of Uncle Pierre and Aunt Genevieve!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good walk and I do see a bench up ahead to the right. A little rest along the way will be good.
ReplyDeleteGood. I love the donkey track and am happy for a trip on it whenever possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your photos of the event Jilly.
ReplyDeletethanks for your comments. Glad you liked the saguaro rib furniture. I am looking forward to your series on the procession. This looks like a great historical and cultural event. I posted a mare and colt on my site today to start a series on my website from my photography tour. It was quite an interesting trip to the slot canyon and Vermillion Cliffs. Also, if you like travel photos, we have posted action photos from Buenos Aires, Argentina on our travel photo site, www.vivalavoyage.com. Happy Monday!
