Theme Day: Empty
Moules! Empty mussel shells at Restaurant le Balico in Menton. They were so good!
The shells appear to be black until you take a flash photo and then you see the beautiful blues and pearl colours on the interior of the shells.
Note: Since posting the above, sadly Le Balico has been sold and is now under new management.
Today is once again Theme Day in the City Daily Photo community. To see how bloggers from all over the world have interpreted today's Theme, please click here to view thumbnails.

The colours are stunning, very inky. A good choice for Theme Day and lunch or dinner!
I hope you enjoyed your meal! :)
Empty shells, how appropriate. Happy theme day.
Another good choice! I can only imagine how delicous those were!
tu as profité d'un bon repas de moules pour faire la photo du mois, voila une bonne idée ;o)
this "empty" would leave me with a sense of satisfaction (from a great mea1) and sadness that they were all gone.
I love the scattering of detritus, Jilly. And the higgeldy-piggeldyness of the arrangement.
I can almost smell the salt from here ...
Wow...that must be so delicious.
Btw, very nice theme day pic.
Miam miam! Even better with cider or white wine...!
Oh, how you suffer for your craft ( ;
Inspired response to the 'empty' theme.
Jilly, I know you didn't make the effort just for the theme of the month....
Yum, We have relatively larger green lip mussel as NZ delicacy.
You had to take one for the team to get the shot huh? Good idea.
Next time I eat mussels I will have to look for the shades of color on the inside.
The variety of interpretations of the empty theme is amazing. You have chosen two very different photos, as did Julie and I on our two Daily Photo sites.
Hi Jilly, love your interpretation of the theme ... also your mention of the unexpected colors.
J'arrive trop tard ..
Ah! Even with all the rain we've had here, you set me thinking with this shot. I have a delicious recipe for mussels with wine sauce. I'm breaking it out tonight! LOVE mussels!
How very Mentonais and humorous ! I remember having mussels with you when I was there in February. Great choice for today's theme
:-)))
This is one of the nicest interpretation of this Theme Day. Very creative, I hope you helped to create this emptiness...
Fantastic photo for todays theme!
Brilliant, Jilly! You found a way to show that empty can be good and beautiful.
well done!
Excellent! Now you've given me an itch for a plate of moules marinière without frites !
Mmm wish I had been there before they were empty
I haven't had my breakfast yet, and now you've put me in the food for seafood! Mmmmm....
mmmm!!!
Great idea and great shot!
Very, very clever.
Lovely interpretation and lovely photo. I can feel the satisfaction of that meal just looking at the picture.
I think it has been very interesting how varied the responses to the empty theme have been. It is a wide open topic that people have taken to in very interesting ways.
Yes, moules are the best! Just a lovely composition and color here JIlly. My, you have to come up with TWO theme day posts. Both were wonderful. Now I"m wondering if I'll be lucky enough to be in Paris at the end of the TDF!!! I'm off to the internet to see. How could I be that lucky!!!

DAMN,
I'll be in the countryside by the end. I've missed it all.... Soldes, Fete de Musique, TDF ..... but wait, I got many weeks in Paris. I'm happy!!! :)

Good one, Jilly. I never would have thought of that one! Does make me hungry for the seaside AND seafood!
Great choice for the monthly theme day!
Ooooh, gorgeous!
Empty 'moulles' shells!Very clever indeed, Jilly!
The variety of interpretations of the empty theme is amazing.
