In Nice, I had a room rented via Airbnb. The host gave us the keys, and we felt like Nice-residents for some days. The flat was in a typical Nice residence where only French people lived. On a day I rented an electric Toyota car where I drove up to the hills of the east and shot that photo of Nice with the beach.

It’s surprising how nice Nice is, the old town brings you photo motives at every corner, like that church with a purple steeple. And I had more time for photo shooting as I thought because my wife made a side trips for Pain Au Chocolat or Macarons. I also had a favorite sweet; it is called a Flan, made of creme caramel. 🙂

Walking on the Promenade Des Anglais during the evening and in the night shows you many illuminated buildings. Those give a cool look; often the palm trees are lightened too, this all adds to the popularity of the Cote d’Azure. On the promenade you see many street musicians and instant-portrait-painters which do a great job, they can paint a portrait of you, only with a carbon pencil. If you wish the style can be realistic or if you choose funny, then the picture looks like a face from a photo morphing program. 🙂

Nice by night, a unique experience, walking through the streets in a mild summer’s night … But with crossing this street you should be a bit careful and look around, the tram is very calm when it comes along… 🙂
I think sending postcards is nearly dead, with fast and often real time photo uploads, where is the need? But I remember my childhood days, where we went to the postcard rack, and chose the cards for family and relatives. There was a rule by the post, that with more words written, the sending of the cards got more expensive, the good old days …. Nowadays everyone can shoot his own postcard motives, look after a good observation point and let’s start shooting, like here in Nice.
Das Spazieren auf dem Boulevard Anglais ist ein ständiges Erleben von Eindrücken und Personen. Vor allem am Abend sind die beleuchteten Gebäude, die Strassenkünstler, die Palmen und die Snack-Stände immer wieder aufs Neue faszinierend. Die Strassen-Cafes auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite laden zu kleinen Abstechern auf ein kühles Bier ein 🙂
