After a short night, I went up very early to take pictures of the sunrise. What I found, when the sun comes up, was an astonishing scene where the sunrise came up above Cannes and you could see the moon as well. The light was perfect to get both into one picture. I did this picture from one of the small piers from one of the hotels in Cannes. I was the only one this morning on the streets, except one fisherman and he was also impressed by the scene with the moon and the sunrise. I had a quick chat with him, but my French is not that best and his English wasn't as well.
After a long day in Cannes and on the way back to the hotel, I had this wonderful view of the sea in Cannes with this wonderful sunset behind the mountains. It was the perfect light and perfect moment to take this picture. And by the way, I had to take this way every day and this was the only day with this perfect light. Unfortunately, the beach was closed, so I dared to go there to take pictures. At least on this day.
Last year, I visited Cannes. On my first day, I climbed a small hill up to a church. From there you had a wonderful view down to the city, but also to west with the long beach and some mountains on the other side of the bay. I was there during sunset and the light was wonderful. I could make some picture of a very dramatic sunset in Cannes.
