I'm still getting used to Vista [though things have been much smoother than I expected] and I have a lot of stuff to transfer from the other hard discs, especially photos and artwork, but its absolutely brilliant to have machine of my own again.
We went back to Eze at the weekend and took Nietzsche's Path down to the sea. It was quite different from the last time I walked the route since many of the trees were bare and the bushes and plants had died back for winter.
We were lucky enough to witness the sun as it gradually set and the sky changed from blue to palest pink to deep orange and charcoal.
Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat reaches out to sea behind the two trees on the hill.
When I looked back, I could see that the rocks were tinged with pink from the sky. I'm not sure if its as visible in the photograph as it was at the time.
A soft pink sky glowing through the leafless tree branches.
The sky is darkening over Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat, which looks like a snaky island visible in the v-shaped notch [the bay of Eze sur mer is hidden at this angle]
The sky is darker and the soft pink has turned to peach.
I think the following photo is my favourite -the sky and sea were so beautifully lit and whole bay was tranquil and still.
The sun was setting behind the headland and because there was so much cloud cover it gave the effect of a glowing volcano. It reminded me somewhat of Mount Doom.
The sun had dropped further here and these were the last deep orange rays .I loved the subtle light on the bay as the light died.
It was such a privilege to have witnessed this spectacular sunset.
