Vive la France! by quietpurplehaze

Vive la France!

Bastille Day, July 14th, today and I find this little scene appropriate.

I was not in France when I saw this, but at Lee-on-Solent in Hampshire, England.

Perhaps just a string of onions missing from the bike?!
Great candid image, love the perspective and depth of field giving great foreground detail Hazel, hes possibly resting having travelled far and wide and has sold all his onions:)

It takes an engineer to think of that, Peter!

Lovely shot. So many yachts on the water. Is there a race going on.

They just seemed to be ambling about on the water, Babs - there were some colourful spinnaker sails but a bit far in the distance.

great observation and for making Lee look so attractive! - have you tried this in B&W to change the mood?

@handymaurice

Good suggestion. I've been having little forays into b&w lately. I'll tag you to see it if I do!

My favourite place, Winchester. We live around 7 miles away from the city.
