Calanque du Jonquier is a small bay in the Bouches-du-Rhône district on the Blue Coast near Marseille, France. Over the Gulf of Lion, the 5 arch railway viaduct was built in 1915. Atop the ridge is the Fort of Niolon, a set of French military batteries build from 1860 – 1880. I captured this photo while arriving in Marseille.

Children playing at the Place des Moulins (Square of the mills).  The square is located at the top of the butte des Moulins in Marseille, France, the name is due to the presence of windmills at the end of the 16th century.

My wife’s an interior decorator, she would say this composition is “busy”.  Well, it’s definitely busy.  But that was my intent when I “saw” this shot.  My hope is, for the viewer to experience all the “scenes” or compositions contained within by navigating the lines, shapes and patterns.  The composition is looking down on Av. Vaudoyer, near the Promenade Robert-Laffont at the Port of Marseille, France.

Cheers,
