Final day in Nice

October 28, 2014  •  7 Comments

On June 27th we headed back to Nice as it was the last day of our workshop.  The workshop ended at noon so a few of us were on our own for the last afternoon and evening.  I woke up on the 27th with a bad case of laryngitis which was unfortunate but did not slow me down.    It must have been  the crazy French life I was leading for the past couple of weeks!

20140627_France_000120140627_France_0001 I was starting to think that people cannot not sit or be by themselves without using their phones.

20140627_France_000320140627_France_0003 We went to look for the flower market in Old Nice.  There were a lot of pretty flowers but I was told it was no where near as nice as the flower market in London.

20140627_France_000120140627_France_0001 I didn't get a chance to photograph too much laundry in France so I was happy to come across this colourful site.

20140627_France_001120140627_France_0011 I walked back to the hotel along the water; by now the beaches were packed.

20140627_France_001320140627_France_0013 I'm still not sure I could get used to lying on the rocks.

20140627_France_001420140627_France_0014 This looked like a lot of fun.

  I met with Sam, Gretchen and Chris on the rooftop for our own  farewell dinner.

20140627_France_002020140627_France_0020 After dinner,  I took a few shots of Nice.

20140628_France_002220140628_France_0022 The next morning (I think around 5.30 or 6) I headed to the airport to catch my flight to Toronto via Munich.   By the way the air traffic controllers were finished  their strike so fortunately we could all get home.  This shot was taken at the airport in Nice as I was waiting to board.  I love a dog with attitude.  

20140628_France_002320140628_France_0023 This shot of the fields was taken from the plane as we were flying out of Germany.      I really will have to travel in Germany one day;  so far I have just seen German airports.   I  hope you enjoyed visiting France with me.

I love the fountain pic and the pic of the lady with the umbrella. The dog with the tongue is so cute. Beautiful pics!

Dog with attitude! Fabulous moment! The woman with the umbrella walking in the mist/fog of the fountain was breathtaking. Well done, Marsha. I really did enjoy visiting France with you!

Beautiful and colourful! Great beach shots. How refreshing the misty fountain must be on a really hot day. Loved how you captured how people in the mist were reflected in the wet pavement.
