Chuckeroon's Menton - Place Honoré II
This group of buildings form Place Honoré II, named in honour of the Prince of Monaco (1597-1662) who was responsible for the creation of many of the great buildings of Menton, including the beautiful Basilica. To the left of this 'place' you can walk up very (very!) steep steps to the Basilica, or you can choose to walk (more gently) through Porte St. Antoine, along Rue Longue and climb the rampes.
Bet you didn't know all this, Chuckeroon, when you took the photograph.

Magnificent sweep about it, this view.
Excellent photo. Great perspective, detail and colors. well done!
What a terrific photo; graffiti, shutters, angles, tower, and sky all come together to make a really fascinating composition.
You used one of those fancy, schmancy lenses didn't you! Wonderful effect. I love the colors of the buildings. What a beautiful place.

Great photo! I love this "wrap around" angle.
This is just superb!
What a great series, so varied and some of them completely unexpected. I like street photography so for me the woman in white is just killer. You're a very good hostess, Jilly.
Just wonderful... I must be the camera! :-)) Or... ? Bravo Chuckeroon!
'tis the eye behind the lens! Entrancing image he has taken for you, Jilly and I like the text too. Somehow that long trudge suits the image.
I did enjoy this view. I don't think I have seen one like it anywhere. Yesterday I was not able to think of the blog that had unusual dressed people on it.

I had lost the link but found it again.
Colors are wonderful, So South spirit, bit the most interesting is the angle you took the picture Chuckeroon.
Better walk along Rue Longue then climb the rampes, and go down by this side using the "Medieval stairs".
I also say it's the photographer not the camera. This week the theory has been born out with the marvellous guest photography. Absolutely stunning image.
Eye-catching angle and the colors are beautiful.
Great perspective. It's always the photographer that makes the shot, and this is a good one.
Isn't it interesting how a fresh look on a place brings new perspective - literally!
Brilliant angle, 'roon, I'm impressed.
Simply great.
