Where is one of my favourite squares in Nice reflected this week?? On the shiny black bonnet of a car parked in Plaza Garibaldi. If you look closely at the flyer tucked beneath the windscreen wiper, you will notice President Sarkozy's attempts to get re-elected this weekend by promising a France "forte et juste" (strong and fair). The French have much to reflect upon as they go to the polls on Sunday May 6th - will they be brave and strong enough to elect a Socialist President in the form of Francois Hollande??
Whilst we eagerly await the result - feast your eyes upon the beauty of Plaza Garibaldi in Nice - and perhaps reflect upon the fact that this is a country whereby 6 million people (18%) voted in the first round for Le Front National - the Far Right's Marine Le Pen - worrying times indeed......May Day, Mayday, Mayday, m'aidez.......m'aidez........

What great reflection photo's , they are perfect .
You have found wonderful reflections on the bonnet of this shiny black car. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the elections ... I will watching it all unfold from afar.
I love it! Blue and yellow are my perfect color combination!
Oh yeah! Fabulous place, Place Garibaldi; and a creative presentation of the square and its reflections, Catherine. Reflecting on French politics, however, is scary. You know, I'm half French by blood (actually 1/4, the other 1/4 is Corsican), but I'll be danged if I understand their world view... and their attraction to the likes of the Le Pens. Never did like NS, and not clear if FH is up for the job... but we'll see. Where have all the real leaders gone? (And I mean that globally.) :-)
Place GAribaldi is one of my favorite spots, and you caught a beautyful reflection.
Awesome captures, the reflections are so beautiful!You are very talented!

Sometimes it's a good thing to get bent out of shape. Beautiful yellow tone set off perfectly against the blue.
Love the reflection on the car hood. How fortunate you are to live in so many exotic places...I have never lived outside of California.
Great series!
Thanks very much for all your lovely comments this week - very much appreciated as usual....
The reflections and various angles are gorgeous with the colors of the Riviera... You have reminded me that I have a windshield reflection of a cathedral that I must dig out...
Bises,
