Shadow Shot Sunday in Provence

the view from the hotel B4 Plaza's roof terrace
across the beautiful Jardin Albert 1er to vieux Nice town
I recently spent six wonderful days attending the Quimper Club International's annual meeting in Nice on the Cote D'Azur, my sister Kathryn came along too which made the trip even more amazing.
Once I've sorted through my photographs I'll tell you about some of the things that we did and the gorgeous places we visited.
But for now I just have two shadow captures to share.
The first one was taken in the jam making area of the Confiserie Florian des Gorges du Loup during our guided tour last Friday.

jars of citrus jam ready to be transported to the store
This shot was taken through the open window looking down on the swift flowing river that runs alongside the Confiserie down the gorge to the sea.



sharing these Provencal shadows also with 
Gemma for Scenic Weekends
and everyone joining in 

bon dimanche a tous

  2. I'm with Paula, I'd like some of the jam too. I love the brick floor in that store. Of course, both your shadow and reflection shots are marvelous. but it's Provence, n'est ce pas?

  5. Now THAT is an event I would love to attend! How fun would that be! Love the idea of citron jam. I can't find it here in the states. Le Bonne Matin makes a wonderful one that I could find only in France. Next time I'll ship home a case!

  9. They couldn't have picked a lovelier place for the conference Maggie - how great that your sis accompanied you, a very special 'girls holiday'. Did Sarah go too? I must check her blog.

    Look forward to more - words and pics - from your trip south.

    Hugs, Mary

  14. Hi Maggie,
    Amazing photos you are sharing. I am still going through mine and it will take awhile with all the catch-up at home. I just want to say it was delightful to finally meet you and added bonus to meet your sister too. It was a lovely destination for QCI members. Look forward to seeing more of your photos.

    Hugs,
    Emily
