The bridge in the centre crosses the River Roya which flows out to the sea. The banks of the river and the stony beach combined meant that i couldn't actually add in the sea on the left hand side of the panorama but then if I'd taken a photo with the sea coast, I wouldn't have managed to take the river valley with distant mountains, bridge , old town and hills.
We didn't cross the bridge over the Roya to the old town-that will be something to do next time we visit.
The town was originally the capital of a Ligurian tribe, the Intemeli and the name was originally Albium Intemelium. When it was conquered by the Romans the name was contracted to Albintimilium and there are apparently still some vestiges of the Roman town including a theatre which has apparently been reopened for occasional use .
A swan let me take a couple of photos before swimming off upstream towards the bridge.
I was pleased to get this photo of the swan's legs- usually they are gliding along with no visible means of propulsion.

That's an incredible pasting shot. Go you!
Fab panorama, I can't get them to line up so nicely when I do them.
I think the swan was showing off for you! :-)
Well, that is very clever putting photos together and getting a result like that. I am impressed!

Hi, just a quick visit from B.E.
I really love your photos .. a cool thing that i've learned to do to is this - once you've uploaded the photo to your message, go into 'edit html' and look at the start of the photos' address.
When you see the first line that ends with jpg" add in the following- target="_blank"
Your photo will then open in a new page, and often does justice to the hard work that's been put in.
That's it.
