Sunday Moody Blues


Sunday lunch in Menton and a moody sky on the way home. More interesting than a perfect blue sky, don't you think - but a good deal chillier?

Tomorrow: Menton Daily Photo's 5th birthday!

Le déjeuner du dimanche à Menton avec un ciel maussade sur le chemin du retour. C'est plus intéressant qu'un ciel d'un bleu parfait, n'est-ce pas - mais c'est un peu plus froid?

Demain: 5ème anniversaire de Menton Daily Photo!

  1. Great sky Jilly. I agree...clouds and light make for a more interesting picture than a clear blue sky. I love the way you have caught the birds as well.

  7. I agree this looks like a beautiful painting, Jilly. But what painter could come up with such shades and tones and details? Lucky for us you were there to capture it with your camera.

  9. Great sky. You got it at just the right moment. We had a cloudy day today. In the late afternoon there was a hole in the clouds that produced brilliant light for just one part of the sky. I raced to get my camera, but it was gone before I returned. Bummer!

  11. That's drop-dead gorgeous, very sellable.

    Congratulations on your anniversary. It takes lots of work and dedication. I get to this milestone in about a month and a half.

  12. Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments.

    And Jack, that almost happened to me - I was driving home and it was totally cloudy and suddenly a snippet of sun appeared just before I turn off to drive up the mountain. I parked and just managed to get the shot along with a few others. So much of photography is all about the light, isn't it! And I was lucky on this day.
