320th sec in Provence

A street scene in St. Quentin de Poterie in Provence, France.  See the most recent New York Times travel article:  36 hours in Provence for more travel information.  A nice place to visit with beautiful scenery, great food.  And you can do it without spending a lot of money if you plan ahead.  The fruit was sitting on the chairs,  I tried to take a photo of the elderly women selling the fruit but she would not let me...

Real nice travel image, David. It gives a great sense of the place, with sweet light, comp and colors.

Excellent textures, light and colour, David, and an inviting perspective on the street.  It would have been nice to have the old lady in the picture, but the fruit boxes do a good job of suggesting a human presence..

I like this a lot. The composition and the lively colors work very well. The chaitrs and the fruit add a friendly touch.
