This is a beautiful photograph, by Erich Westendarp, of the scenic harbor on the French Riviera at Menton in south-eastern France. Here are the visual elements that I think make this harbour so beautiful and scenic:
- the cute lighthouse appears to situated on its own island.
- the buildings are painted in various, yet complimentary colors.
- the mountains beyond the roof-line of the buildings,
- the neatly parked boats,
- the foggy, cloudy sky
- the evergreen trees
- and the water.
It's easy to see why Menton is called the 'Pearl of France'.
