Christmas in Menton - Bubbles


It's Christmas which means all sorts of fun for children. In the Jardin Bioves you'll find these large inflatable balls that float and move on water. This adorable child looks somewhat bemused.

C'est Noël ce qui signifie toutes sortes de plaisirs pour les enfants. Dans le Jardin Biovès, on peut voir cet énorme ballon qui flotte et se déplace sur l'eau. Cette adorable enfant semble quelque peu étonnée.

  4. Jilly both photos are stupendous, almost surreal, I love them both.

    And just like bibi, I'd just LOVE to try one of those. Are adults allowed in?

  5. Bibi and Nathalie, I'd love to try it too but I've seen these in Monaco and Menton and I've never seen adults in them. I think they are not big enough. Suspect there is an upper age limit. Pity... We are all kids at heart...

  8. Something seems wrong with these. Have any been blown out to sea and the child lost? Seems as if that has happened recently. Such a shame.

  12. Your first shot is so beautyful!but the little lady seems to be a little scared or lost. I'm sure bigger people would enjoy it more!Like Olivier, I was thinking of "the prisonner" and his Rover!

  13. I came back to look at these pictures again. They have an almost hypnotic effect on me. There's something magic about them...

  14. This is so unusual. I have never seen anything like it. I wonder if all the children feel comfortable being enclosed like this.

  15. Love the top photo!!! Wonderful!!!

    I'd love to do this!!! They have something similar between "halves" at the LA Kings Hockey...though the bubbles aren't on water so adults can participate!!!

  16. This has a fantasy or surreal feel to it. It's a beautiful shot.

    I've started to post again; that is, if I can figure out how to do it again on my new iMac!
