Procession Votive - the Spectators
Looking down as the procession approaches, these two ladies are obviously enjoying the spectacle.
This photograph surprised me when I eventually saw it on the screen. The lady on the left is the double of my maternal grandmother. Perhaps it's simply the shape of her face and her hairstyle? It shocked me though. I'd clicked so quickly and not noticed her features when I took the shot.
I love taking photographs but then there is the moment to see the result, sometimes pleasing, often disappointing and occasionally a personal surprise like this. Trying to imagine my grandmother in the south of France doesn't work though - she lived a very different life.

I don´t know... But I guess it must be nice to LIVE in Meton! ( I have only been there ONE day around Easter time 3-4 years back, when we got hold of some cheap tickets to Nice, and took the train to Meton.) Well, these to ladies are lucky. And I agree; it is strange to see someone "look alike" someone you know.
Have a nice weekend!:-)
curieuse, elles sont aux premières places pour voir le spectacle
We just never know what we have till we pop them into our computers.
There are several lifestyles among individuals living in the south of France. It is a very unique place offering such amazing history and sights. Again I thank you Jilly for your continued effort to present such amazing photos that display life among the region.
Bonjour Genevive! Bonjour Claudine! Comment allez vous?!
This is such a familiar European scene. I love the look of interest and happiness on their faces.
Hey... thats such a simple picture but such a beautiful one!! I love the expressions on their faces!
Cheers
So nice to back to Menton again (unfortunatley only virtually)! I just spent a few weeks a bit futher north with not quite the same atmosphere; let's say that it's "different"! :-)
So beautiful smilling two faces!
Thier faces are very radient,and shinning by warm happy...
Oh Jilly they are a delight and the fact that one brings back dear memories is even more special. Yes, I know how it feels to find the "hidden surprises" when you download your photos. Sometimes very good, sometimes the ones you think are going to be so great are not so much! Your portraits are always so very special. It's your gift I think.
Then you must have looked like your maternal grandmother, Jilly, because there is a resemblance with you!!
Enjoy your weekend!
Ciao
