Nice (geddit) set john. The Negresco at night is a cracker.
Can't believe you were down on Nice beach with that Sigma 120-300 of yours though and didn't put it to better use. Or are they for the private album?

Very nice pictures of Menerbes (I think) brings back memories of holidays past.

I was very fortunate enough to meet and have a beer with Peter Mayle there back in 91, at the height of his 'fame'.

Thanks. Although not known for my subtle approach to life, even I would not want to be seen with a 120-300 on Nice beach claiming to be getting some shots of gulls - I would leave that to Holowlegs

Nice shots John. I hope to be going there in Sept/Oct. I will see if my Box camera can produce as good a night picture as your D300.
