Theme Day: Circles/Spheres - Globes Gone!


Once again it's Theme Day. Today's Theme is Circles/Spheres and here you see a couple having a picnic by the sea in Menton - the street lamp with it's large globes in view.

A few hours after taking this photograph, the globes were GONE - taken down, as you in the smaller photograph leaving space for Christmas decorations which we'll see another time.

Bloggers from 187 different cities around the world are taking part in today's Theme and will, I know, interpret this theme in a myriad of fascinating ways. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

  13. A lovely spot for a picnic...and a lovely photo for theme day! The streetlamp globes are perfect! I am curious though to see what Christmas decorations took their place. You were lucky to take this photo before the globes were removed.

  14. Love your many shots of that magnificent stretch of sea and sky along the road, Jilly. Just in time globes worked just right for your theme day post!

  15. Quite a lot of work to actually remove the globes for the decorations. One has to schlepp stuff to and back both times.

    I didn't sign up on the CDP, but I do have a sphere planned today. It'll go up in a couple of hours if things go according to plan.

  17. Clever shots! They could have just placed colored light bulbs inside the globes and left them there, along with the Christmas lights!
