On the Jackal tracks Photo

Photographer’s Note

Silver Sea in front of Monaco and Beausoleil.

A picture from the Moyenne Corniche, the Route Nazionale 7, that runs some hundreds of meters over the Mediterranean sea along the red rocks cliffs of Cote d'Azur.
It was built in the 20's and 30's (Nice-Monaco 1927, et Monaco-le Cap Martin 1939), some hundreds of meters closest to the sea than the Grand Corniche, an old Roman Street (Via Julia) that was restored by Napoleone Bonaparte.

The Moyenne Corniche ends the run close to Roquebrun-Cap Martin, where merges in the Grand Corniche, and then, as Route Nationale 7, it arrives to the Italian border in the Menton municipality, at the Pont Saint Louis Check Point, that in the 50's, 60's and 70's it was a famous location for many spy-story movies as:
The Day of the Jackal with Michael Lonsdale and Edward Fox and Le Corniaud with Louis de Funès and Bourvil

Hi Paolo.

A nice compo with the mountain on the right and the sea in the other areas of the picture.

Well done!

Hello,

Très beau payasage, cette côte, il faudrait mettre l'oreille dans un coquillage pour la regarder et écouter le bruit de la mer. superbe.

Bravo et belle journée.

Best regards

Hi Paolo,

A very well two parts picture, almost cut in middle the sea to the left and the rocks and the houses to the right, also the seashore line gives a nice composition together with the blue part sky. Thanks for sharing.

I wish you a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Paolo,
Excellent high POV looking into the sea and the coastline. Would have loved a little more light on the houses below. I hope you are folowing the Jackal and its not the other way round:)

Hi Paolo,

With all my friendships,

Jean-Charles

Bonjour Paolo,
c'est vraiment spécial, à la limite de l'impressionisme, d'une peinture.
Une implantation côtière spéciale que ta photo expose bien malgré les lumières difficiles.
C'est vraiment particulier mais bien cadré en tous les cas.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Ciao Paolo.
Bello scatto, sia per la luce e il punto di vista, ma anche perchè l'immagine descrive magnificamente "l'antropizzazione".
Buon lavoro
Renzo
