VERTICAL CLIMB TO EZE Photo

Photographer’s Note

The medieval village of Eze is a site of surpassing beauty on France’s Cote d’Azur. Perched on cliffs at an elevation of 512 m (1680 feet), its vertical approach must have discouraged most would-be invaders.

I visited Eze on two occasions, both times on shore excursions trips from Crystal Serenity, a ship on which I was lecturing. In my first visit to the village in 2002 I took a winding 40-minute bus ride from Nice, where the 'Serenity' was anchored; on the second visit three years later, I rented a car with friends and drove there from Monte Carlo. where the 'Serenity' was docked. The proximity of these two better-known cities should give an idea of Eze’s location in the southeast corner of France.

TURKISH EDITION
Orta Caglar’dan kalan Eze köyü Fransa’nin en muhtesem bir turistic semptidir. 512 metre yüksekliginde bulunan Eze’e otobüsle Monte Carlo’dan veya Nice’den elisilebilir, ve tepeden görünen manzara kolay kolay unutulmaz.

Hi Bulent,

Excellent colours and composition. I really like your POV. Very nice with the rock and the red flowers in the foreground that make you focus on the blue see and the boat far away.

Cheers,

Ulf

Merhabalar,
Bu çok güzel manzarayı maalesef bütün gayretime rağmen göremediğim için kıskandım şimdi.4 yıl önce Nisan sonunda Nice konaklamalı gezimde Menton- Cannes arasındaki her yeri gördüm ,bir öğleden sonrasını gün batımında Eze yi görmeye ayırdık,tren ist.a geldiğimizde yukarı çıkan otobüslerin 1 May.ta başlıyacağını öğrendik taxi bekledik gelmedi Japonlar ellerine birer sopa almış tırmanıyorlardı o nada cesaret edemedik,aşağıdan bakmakla yetindik,ama sizin bu fotonuzu görünce üzüldüm ,hiç değilse alttaki seyir yerine kadar çıkabilirmişiz.Teşekkürler,sayenizde sanal da olsa görebildim.iyi dileklerimle selamlar

Hello Bulent,
Very nice pov ofthat wonderful place. You manage to show very well the amazing inclination of the slope, how cared it is (that garden must be paradisiac) and all that blue of the Mediterranean Sea.

Hi Bulent,

A framing which I like and which gives much impact to the landscape I find. I like this harmony of the colors and in particular this pretty red in foreground. The luminosity is perfect and gives much relief. It is a very pleasant image Bulent, cheer.

With all my friendships,

Kullandığınız açı ile çok güzel bir kompozisyon yaratmışsınız. "İşte bu Akdeniz..." dedirtiyor. Hava, su ve topraktaki renkler fotoğrafa canlılık katmış ve insana ordaymış gibi bir his veriyor. Paylaşımınız için teşekkürler. Elinize sağlık. Behice.

Hello Bulent,

A remarkable shot here, a brilliant combo of rock textures, shadow and light and cheerful colour. The vertical composition of the rock contrasts well next to the horizontal horizon. Good clarity and DOF. As always a comprehensive, informative note to fill our heads with local knowledge. Take care.

Warm Regards from Brisbane, QLD

Hello Bülent,
What an astonishing, inspiring POV and a magical composition. The sharp details of the ancient wall, the beautiful blue sea, accents of the red berries and the white bench on the terrace below create a most magical composition.

I posted a picture of one of the streets in Èze and mentioned this beautiful post of yours.

Warm wishes,
Betty
