Art can come to you in many different styles, capacity and understanding. We all see and understand it differently, which is a good thing. The freedom of looking and interpreting is a universal thing.
In this specific image, taken in Saint-Tropez, I see a posible ancient language, long gone and no one left that understands it. That is the beauty of imagination, it can be what ever you want, everything you make of it is your truth, within your world and your context.
It’s inevitable that the days will pass.
It’s unavoidable that the days will pass.
If the days pass by and the last day will come, how do I want to be remembered?
What is my legacy if the days have passed by and my time is up?
What is it I want people to remember thinking about me?
The scenery in a foreign country other than your own country can be mesmerizing. In this case I did spot the house with the typical french lantern. Alongside the beautiful sunset over the valley and the gorgeous contrast between the house and the valley, especially the mountains. In a way the lantern is hovering over the landscape.
Even for the multi-million dollar/euro properties in the Principality of Monaco, you will often get a french balcony. Aldo beautiful on the exterior design part, you cannot enjoy life outside. Monaco is absolutely gorgeous to take pictures, it resembles (not everywhere) luxury life, combined with stunning architecture.
The sky is the limit in Monaco. These two buildings are a manifestation of exactly that. Their balcony rings reflecting the sunlight gives a bit of extra luxury to the same.
This girl started posing at the entrance of Christian Dior in Saint-Tropez. You see a lot of girls posing in front of designer stores in Saint-Tropez, and subsequently their friends taking pictures. The house of Christian Dior, with its style and class, is a different league at the beautiful venue they own in Saint-Tropez.
Waiting in class, take the time, and prepare for the next shoot.
Prepare for the next shoot en GO!
This girl could be one of the next top-model girls, an absolute stunning pose! If she is the next bond girl, remember this shot!
These two girls were talking to each other on the stairs of a restaurant in the city of Lorgues, Var, France. They did see me taking a photo and instantly moved into this ‘pose’. Therefore I took this photo of them. I’m amazed by them being so ‘camera aware’ that I truly think these ladies are in the early stage of their modeling career and will become young lifestyle influencers.
Lorgues is a typical southern France village where you most likely will take hundreds of photos since some scenes are straight from movie-like scenes.
You never know what will happen during the night. When I took this shot I was amazed by the trees that seem to move over the hill. The ones on the left have difficulties in climbing the steep hill. Like runners that do exactly the same, I can imagine what they say to each other. “When we reach the valley, don’t forget to upload your activity to Strava fellow members”. Otherwise, the other leaf-like members don’t believe you!
On my way from Vidauban to La Motte, I stubled upon Château Sainte Roseline. A gorgeous Château with a beautiful chapel alongside the domain. This bronze representation of a man swimming lies behind the main entrance in a small pond. The artists who created the statue did do his homework by looking at the facial expression of a swimmer. I try to look at places where you would never look for anything. Do so, you will find pearls like in an oyster.
I’m always looking at reflections in the water. While in cities I always look upwards. At least, i’m always checking things in the scenery where other people (most of them) are only looking forward on eye level.
This one I’ve taken late in the evening where the sun sets behind the trees on the little island. The small shelter for birds is situated on a small lake in the Dierdonk neighborhood in the city of Helmond, The Netherlands.
