Villefranche-sur-Mer's harbour framed by a gun portal in the old citadel. The citadel continues to provide protection for the city: it houses city offices, including the police station.
It's a beautiful, romantic, evocative scene. It gives you an expansive feeling -- which is suddenly cut off by the framing. I wish it were wide-open...
Nice composition. I actually like the framing because the inner scene is so busy - the blocks of stone and the large trees, even the "block" of highway are a nice balance to the detail in the center.
There never was a good war or a bad peace.
