Almost too much perfect for postcard!:o)
ReplyDeleteune carte postale qui fait rever, que demander de plus
ReplyDeleteOf course, of course. As George Clooney would say, what else ?
ReplyDeleteWhen I thought of a postcard of Menton, that scene and no other came to mind.
You chose the perfect morning light, soft reflections on a quiet day and vivid blue sky that the Riviera is famous for... the perfect postcard to send home to your friends to make them dream they were there too !
Spectacular shot. Have a great August.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that an "Old Town" is always the most attractive part of any city. This photo is as good as any postcard I've ever seen, and I tend to keep and collect them. A masterful piece of work for this theme day!
ReplyDeleteIf the definition of a post card is a picture which inspires a visit the this is certainly a worthy postcard.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the colorful buildings.
ReplyDeletementon is a place of such color and angles. once the eye rests on menton's gracious beauty the heart is lost forever. this shot today makes tears come. tears of gratitude to have been there at your side and had the experience of menton. tears of longing to stand there again. thank you for this image. thank you for your generosity and friendship. thank you for your dedicated and consistently outstanding contributions to this community.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful place to visit. I love the colours of the buildings in contrast to the water, Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking. Menton in July would make another great postcard!

Your image is astoundingly affecting, Jilly. The colours, yes. But also the reflected colours, the shape of the 'stepping stones' of the village, and those wonderful arches. I am astounded how tall some of the buildings are when seen from across the water.
ReplyDeleteA delightful post card ...
Great pictures. Congrats!
ReplyDeletewow, just so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSo perfect!!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the post card theme but, then I'm sure any scene photographed in Menton would be post card worthy. Such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteWell this is a postcard I would love to own, and FRAME!

Jilly, this is the pefect view of Menton that I love and your "postcard" is better than the magazine covers ever hoped to be. I do hope to visit this very spot next April!
ReplyDeleteBises,

Very postcard-worthy! Terrific captures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Jilly. And you get to see this view whenever you want. Pinch yourself to be sure it is real.

ReplyDeleteYES - I agree with everyone here!
ReplyDeleteWhat more to say?

ReplyDeleteYes, I would have bought your"postcards".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images from a beautiful place!

Greetings from Gunn and Steve.
You've captured Menton's beauty, Jilly. And a special thanks for the memories. I can see the building where I lived in two of your shots. It is one of the tall ones Julie mentions. In some sense, it was cut in two, since half the inhabitants entered on the quai-side, and the other half entered on the rue Longue side. We had to exit and go two doors up to use the traverse to get down to the beach.
ReplyDeleteJust breathtaking, Jilly!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maylss on this one. It must be seen in person. Lucky you.
