Colour


Rue des Marins, Menton

'Man needs colour to live; it's just as necessary an element as fire and water. '

  5. Beautiful photo. We took hundreds of photos of windows in these little nooks the las time we were in Provence. What is it about them that makes us just say "Ah....."?

  6. When I compare these houses to mine, I wonder how we, parisians, succeed to survive.
    Maybe my regular visits to Menton, and my memories, help......

  8. This is gorgeous, Jilly. It has all the elements I look for in a detail/color photograph. It's even gorgeous in a thumbnail...
