'bicycle': seen in my favourite country

I think the rest of our party were somewhere to the left enjoying a morning coffee in the sunshine!
Great capture for the theme, enhanced by that nice city background. What city is it?

It's Honfleur, in Normandy, France. Very picturesque and we've visited a few times.

Oh, that is a beautiful area. We visited Normandy a couple of years ago, mostly the historical places of WWII, but not Honfleur.

Lucky to have this in the archives for today's shot. Love all the different reds

There is something about bikes, especially red ones....they lift a picture :)

Beautiful view on the city and harbour . An old friend of mine did visit Normandy every year ,several months, in summer, to do paintings. In autumn he returns and then I visit him and he shows me his new ( and a lot ) works .

Not far away - as well as the harbour, there are lovely walks beside the river, also Maison Satie, if you like the composer, where there is a quirky exhibition including a white piano which has been set up to 'play' by itself!

@purplehaze12 @sheilag Thank you - maybe the red is one reason why I have always liked this shot.

Ahaa! A very desirable proper racing bike. The boys all kill for them now.

Honfleur if a beautful place. This image brought back good memories of a trip following the Seine from Honfleur to Paris on my motorbike. Thanks for posting it Hazel.
