You will have to show us the same scene at low tide some day! I'd love to see what those columns are attached to.

c'est un beau reposoir pour les oiseaux ;o)

I like this view. It's something different.

What a great place to be. The birds on the columns and the blue of the sea.

I like this, the birds on top of the columns, the person looking out at the water, and the water itself, just so calm and peaceful.

So what does this look like when the tide is out? Well you will just have to show us. MB

Simple and beautiful, one of your best pictures lately. I hope you'll continue this series!

And a bird on each one to complete the symmetry! I really don't mean to be a bother, and I know you've already given me a Moorish history lesson, but would you mind explaining the columns?

I want to be in this photo! Wonderful shot!

More delicious blue and white, though a little more subdued here.
