Up, Down and Roundabout
The Old Town of Menton is like this - streets go off in all directions, downwards, upwards, under archways, round corners. We're standing on Place du Cap looking towards Rue Ciapietta.
The plastic cover on the left protects the terrace area of La Spaghetto, an Italian restaurant, during inclement weather. Not needed today - Spring is here!
Bienvenue printemps à Menton! ( I"m sure mon français needs a little "touch up" but I tried)
ReplyDeleteLove the man in silhouette. He adds so much to this already interesting photograph.

Yes, it is important to LOOK up too.
ReplyDeleteI am off to Nice in August/september with my husband and the company he is working for.
I hope to have the possibility to add some extra days to take a look around to some of the places you have "advertised" so well.
If you think you can get to Menton, do let me know. So easy on the 1 euro bus or by train and I'll meet you. Give me a little notice tho. Write privately and I'll give you my phone number. Love to meet you, Gunn.
ReplyDeleteYour shots are always so poetical. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Virginia...the human figure in the midst of the convening passages adds so much to this escher-like image.
ReplyDeleteJilly, My first thought was similar to V's. The lone figure gives the photo a great deal of interest.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place to explore and wander! I love the stone steps going up - they got lots of history! I wonder who has stepped on them?
ReplyDeleteI like this. I love towns where the streets go crazy in all directions. My city is built on the grid system - we don't get lost that often!
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot.
ReplyDeleteI like the darkened silhouette...nice shot!
ReplyDeleteI love this framed silhouette just as I enjoyed yesterday's. Both are timeless.
