Maritime Alps
The Maritime Alps, located in the southeastern region of France, are a stunning mountain range that offer breathtaking views and a variety of photography opportunities. With peaks reaching over 3,000 meters, the range is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including alpine flowers, chamois, and ibex. The area is also dotted with charming villages and towns, each with their own unique character and architecture. Photographers will find plenty of inspiration in the rugged landscapes, crystal-clear lakes, and picturesque villages. Some of the most popular photography locations in the Maritime Alps include the Mercantour National Park, the Gorges du Verdon, and the hilltop village of Gourdon.

Cascade de Gourbachin - Var.
... Le point de vue (que l'on ne voit pas) est une des merveilles de ce musée ;)
The viewpoint (which we do not see) is one of the wonders of this museum ;)
... mais qu'il est majestueux :)
Lungo il percorso ad anello ci si imbatti in questo ristrutturato e moderno Faro. Il nome di Faro Il nome deriva dall'isola di Pharos, di fronte ad Alessandria d'Egitto, dove nel III secolo a.C. era stata costruita una torre sulla quale ardeva costantemente un gran fuoco, in modo che i naviganti su quei fondali potessero districarsi dalla retrostante palude Mareotide.

J'ai déjà fait ce spot en 2017 et je constate que les batiments à Monaco poussent plus vite que la nature...
I already made this spot in 2017 and I see that buildings in Monaco grow faster than nature ...

Antibes, Cote d'Azur during sunrise. Last week I returned from a 16 day road trip through southern france. First I went to visit the Lavender fields around Valensole and the Verdon Canyon. I continued the journey in Cassis and from there went along the Cote d'Azur.
For my taste there are to many citys at the coast there and I enjoyed my time in the back country much more than the coast. But I couldn't resisit to explore the area a bit during sunrise. Then it's quite calm and I had those beautiful views for myself, as here in Antibes.
Here's a short video tutorial about how I combined two exposures in this photo: mibreit-photo.com/blog/2015/07/photography-tip-combining-...
La cascade d'Amen
La première fois que j'ai voulu prendre cette structure en photo, il y a un peu plus d'un an, je suis arrivé sur le port d'Antibes 1 heure avant le lever du jour pour me rendre compte que la structure était complètement bachée pour cause de rénovation. Quelques mois après, j'avais rendez-vous avec mon confrère, Antoine, pour renouveler l'opérartion nomade de grand matin afin de bénéficier d'une belle lumière. Mais ce matin là, nous avons appris à notre plus grand désespoir que le site était fermé pour cause de régates. Le 31 janvier de cette année, en passant à proximité du site, nous avons décidé de nous y arrêter quelques instants en pleine journée pour enfin essayer de capturer ce fameux nomade. N'étant pas satisfait du résultat, j'y suis donc retourné une quatrième fois et, après 1h30 d'attente, je suis arrivé à... ça. Après ce long palabre, je vous renvoie auprès de ANTOINE ASARO pour le descriptif de cette sculture :)
The first time I wanted to take a picture of this structure, a little over a year ago, I arrived at the port of Antibes 1 hour before daybreak to realize that the structure was completely covered for renovation. A few months later, I had an appointment with my colleague, Antoine, to renew the nomadic operation early in the morning in order to benefit from a beautiful light. But this morning, we learned to our greatest despair that the site was closed due to regattas. On January 31 of this year, passing near the site, we decided to stop there for a few moments in the middle of the day to finally try to capture this famous nomad. Not being satisfied with the result, I went back there a fourth time and, after an hour and a half wait, I arrived at ... that. After this long palaver, I send you back to near ANTOINE ASARO for the description of this sculpture :)
Situé entre Mandelieu-la-Napoule et St Raphaël, le Trayas compte les plus belles criques sauvages de la Côte d’Azur. Au pied de l’Estérel, une dizaine de calanques et de petites plages se succèdent dans un décor sauvage qui met en contraste le rouge des roches, le vert de la végétation méditerranéenne et le bleu de la mer.
Located between Mandelieu-la-Napoule and St Raphaël, the Trayas has the most beautiful wild coves of the Côte d'Azur. At the foot of the Esterel, a dozen creeks and small beaches follow one another in a wild setting that contrasts the red rocks, the green Mediterranean vegetation and the blue of the sea.

Ce kiosque à musique est le cadeau du comte de Chambrun à sa femme vers la fin du 19eme siècle. Dès 1890, il accueille de nombreux concerts. Le monument inspiré du temple de la Sibylle en Italie est construit en marbre blanc de Carrare. Il est constitué de douze colonnes corinthiennes et fait vingt mètres de haut. A son dôme, on note la présence d'une sculpture de bronze et les mots "Logos" (raison) et "Kosmos" (univers) gravés sur le fronton.

Pour sa première sortie depuis le confinement, j'ai accompagné mon appareil sur un site que j'affectionne particulièrement, le Cap d'Antibes.
For its first outing since confinement, I accompanied my camera to a site that I particularly like, Cap d'Antibes.
