Silhouette with Oranges
Taken in Roquebrune village yesterday. Note the oranges on the trees in the foreground. It's 'that' time of year again in Menton - La Fête du Citron. Menton is choc-a-bloc with visitors for the festival, so it was a good moment to stroll through the peace of this medieval hill village.

This is the time of the year when my grand-parents would send all sorts of goodies: orange and lemon peels covered in chocolates, candied fruits (in particular tangerines) and mimosa shaped candy.
This great photo brings me the spring into my wintery Marburg. Thanks!
Jilly what a great job you did! You're learning fast aren't you? I just love, love, love this photo and I'm so pleased you posted it. I'm delighted.
un très beau contre-jour
a very nice backlighting
Beautiful, Jilly!!
Lovely photo, and I can smell the citrus in the air!
This is the rose parade of Menton coming up. I remember the way they used oranges last year that you photographed.
This is a nice photo and I would never have seen the orange has you not mentioned it.

Ah, Roquebrune. I had dear friends who lived there. So wonderful to be reminded of them with such a gentle photograph.
A beautiful, open, airy view on the sea. Fantastic!
Beautiful shot. It's orange time in Arizona too but, we don't have the beautiful ocean views.
I anticipate more delectable photos from the orange festival this year.
The silhouette against the blue sky and sea is outstanding.
Can't wait for the photos.
I drove past Ash today and thouht about you.
Unfortunately, I was late and didn't have tme to take photos...
OK, I am going to work on this silhoette thing. YOu nailed this one Jilly. I can smell the oranges as well. These festival sounds grand. Can we visit??

Ho,humm. What do we see? Strictly contolled light and an accomplished management of the depth of field. Wavelets in the foreground fading away to a soft sea!
Isn't it nice the way the oranges are just "hinted at" by that little touch of colour as opposed to the balcked out tree!?
Yep, I can smell the citron too! Can see why the place overflows for the orange festival. Splendid photo, Jilly!
Got a nice comment by Chuckeroon here Jilly. Happy ? LOL
Pretty silhouette. I like taking that type of photos too.
