MM 3-31

I have been very, very lazy in participating  in Monochrome Madness and as the photos there are always so gorgeous, I am also very disappointed of my laziness. This week , well, here is my post for the challenge. I visited French Riviera early October and this is taken at there.

Memory from fall

Aletta  kindly informed the name of this flower, Leonotis leonurus, also known as lion’s tail and wild dagga. Thank’s for that 🙂

Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of

Dance me to the end of love

Villefranche sur mer -rue Obscure

Wandering down the 13th century, 130 metre long rue Obscure (the dark street), which used to be part of the defensive walls of the town and is where the locals used to hide from invaders who were bombing the village from the sea.
