I arrived in Nice late in the evening with just enough time for a quick stroll by the sea front. These blue chairs were dotted all along the beach. They were lit by very green sodium spotlights, so a lot of filtration was needed. The 2 second exposure gave the waves a creamy appearance. The French are known for their joie de vie.
Life is there to be lived and enjoyed.
The drummers on Nice esplanade are not buskin, they are just there to play their music and have a good time. The lone figure crossing the Pont du Gard gives some sense of the scale of this 2000 year old aqueduct. The harsh sun of the south has taken its toll on the paint work of this building. This shot taken under cloudy conditions shows the weathered texture of the paint and wood. I found the whole experience very stimulating.
