Christel from Köln, Germany

Good morning, Frances,
At first sight it seems as if the young man is asleep. Perhaps the reading was too boring? The general view is interesting and clear in color, and quality. Have a nice day and all the best. Dear greetings Christel

London Caller from United Kingdom

What a candid shot! Did he snore? Ha ha...
Great frame and perspective!

>Temple of Diana, Nice.
It's actually located in the north, slightly off the main tourist map.
Well, at least you've got an excuse to visit Nice again in the future.
That was actually my 2nd trip to Nice - and I still like it!
