The picture shows the harbour of Saint Tropez, a famous holiday resort on the Côte d'Azur in the south of France.
The harbour basin is filled with numerous small fishing boats moored close together. The boats are typical of the region and are characterised by their colourful paintwork and distinctive shape.
The fishing boats are made of wood and have a flat hull. They are equipped with nets and other fishing gear and are used by their owners to fish in the surrounding waters.
The harbour quay is bustling with people. Holidaymakers and locals stroll along the promenade, admire the boats or enjoy a coffee in one of the many cafés and restaurants.
The bright colours of the boats and the picturesque backdrop contribute to the positive atmosphere.
The picture conveys a feeling of holiday and relaxation. It evokes memories of beautiful days by the sea and invites you to travel to Saint Tropez yourself.
Seagulls circle above the boats and the quay. Their white wings stand out against the blue sky. (unfortunately you can't see them in the picture, but I did when I was there).
The typical fishing boats, the lively atmosphere and the picturesque backdrop make the picture a perfect expression of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
I am a hobby photographer and have been taking pictures since the analogue era. I currently work with the Canon R5 and the DJI Air 3 and use lenses from Canon and Sigma, among others, for a wide variety of situations.
My favourite subjects are macro and landscape photography...
