This is just the sort of scene I'm looking forward to exploring with my own camera this fall. Can't get enough of those eye-popping colors and architectural details that you just don't typically find here in California, where I'm from.

I'm not usually a fan of HDR - it typically looks fake and overdone, to me - but this example is superb! Love the processing and composition of this street scene from Old Nice. And as I'll be there later this fall, a real inspiration. Can't wait!

Looking forward to my visit to the French Riviera later this year, I got lost in Carson Ting's lovely stream of holiday snaps from Nice. This one in particular caught my eye as it's market day today in my neck of the woods. As nice as our farmers markets are in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'd rather be at this one right now, in the South of France!

There was a nice little piece on Nice in yesterday's Euromaxx, so I thought that's where we should jet off to, today.

One of these years, I would love to fête it up at the annual Citrus Festival in Menton, on the French Riviera. An aesthetically and aromatically mind-blowing attraction, it looks nothing short of delicious!

Why aren't towns and cities in the United States a fraction of this charming? I suppose old Boston, parts of NYC, and elsewhere quaint on the East Coast can come close, but the rest of the States - in terms of charm - falls pretty generally short, in my book. With few exceptions.

I like the "light at the end of the tunnel" feeling that this photo elicits.

I love laundry days. Mine aren't nearly so photogenic, though.
