The Sun Sets on Another Year...


The sun sets at the end of another year. In the foreground, Ulysses. In the distance Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Monaco.

Menton was packed yesterday - overflowing with Italians here to welcome in the New Year. If you are celebrating tonight I wish you a joyful evening and let's hope next year is a better one for this suffering world of ours.

Le soleil se couche pour finir encore une année. Au premier plan, Ulysse. Dans le lointain, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin et Monaco.

Hier, Menton était animée, grouillante d' Italiens venus ici pour accueillir la nouvelle année. Si vous fêtes le réveillon ce soir, je vous souhaite une joyeuse soirée en espérant que l'année prochaine soit meilleure pour notre monde qui souffre.

    I love this kind of photos where there is a sillouette in front of a sky.
