belle photo, mais les immeubles modernes au milieu gâchent un peu l'ensemble

@Olivier: I couldn't agree with you more, these modern monsters have nothing to do with the coast line. It's awful!

Good thing this is a bay, it would be difficult to swim near those rocks if there were waves crashing all around.

Lovely place, but I think it would be even more beautiful without these modern buildings.

Looks like the bathers are having fun in the sun JM, pity about the huge grey buildings, apartment blocks I guess, they don't seem to fit the beautiful coast line!

Sharon said...

Ahh...another beautiful waterfront view. Wonderful.
JM, yesterday at the Thai cooking class, chef Ola served us a wonderful crisp white wine from Portugal. It was called Gloria Blanco and it was excellent.

Beautiful capture of a beautiful place, although I do agree with you and Olivier in regards to to the monster buildings!! We have far too many here in the US! Hope you have a great week, JM!

Very nice picture!

VP said...

Fascinating coastline, beautiful water, it is good to remember this place quite well...

Jack said...

It is a pretty place. If we take a long view, those gray blocks probably won't be there forever.

If you live on the inside of one of those modern buildings the views from your windows must be fantastic... from the fantastic view looking back.???

I wonder who thought those modern blocks would be good just there? Otherwise it looks such a pretty spot.

Judy said...

Looks like a gorgeous day!

I was going back and looking at all of your great posts that I missed!
All beautiful as usual.

Nice shot. Not so sure about those gray buildings.

The water looks delicious.

Nice shot. I love it. Love to remember.
It's a beautiful bay and we went swimming there while in the marina (with a thiny sailboat).
