A translator friend invited me for lunch today, in part to celebrate the recent US elections. His apartment is in the Mont Boron area of Nice, and so in addition to enjoying wonderful food and wine, I was able to shoot some beautiful photos! The one shown here is now among my all-time favorites; the orange sunset accentuated this church’s colors and of course the azur Mediterranean sky. There are 24 photos in all, in my flickr photostream.

I started on Boulevard Carnot, near the cape, and went towards the port/harbor:
o Villa, Mont Boron, also showing the deep blue sky
o Quirky cabin or shack to the left of previous villa
o Villa on an overhang
o Nice harbor from Boulevard Carnot
o Home guarded by griffons
o Citroën 2CV in a small street

Then at my friend’s place:
o His beautiful 1950′s parquet floor
o Unidentified flower (anyone know what this is? It has woody stems)
o One of the views from his place

Afterwards he took me for a walk back to the harbor/port — he knows all the secret paths!
o Rounded building
o Notre Dame du Perpétuel Secours, full shot
o Notre Dame du Perpétuel Secours, closer view (with the shot shown here being the closest)
o Veranda facing the sunset
o Villa facing the sunset
o Modern architectural lines
o Sunset colors on the rocks
o Waves on rocks against the setting sun
o Nice harbor, twilight
o Stairs to the sea
o White spiral staircase against the twilight, another favorite of mine
o Sunset over Nice
o Plongeoir (diving platform) at sunset
