Glass Pot, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, Sud

Photographer's Note

Just wandering the streets of Eze village when I noticed a few of these glass potted plants, which were not only very large, but rather unique. I can’t ever remember seeing anything like this before. Needless to say, I thought it was interesting enough to photograph. It was yet another of one those times when I stumbled upon something unexpected… and well, delightful!

Eze is a medieval village perched like an eagles nest on a narrow rocky peak overlooking the Mediterranean sea. The ancient fortified village is still crowned with the ruins of its 12th-century castle (torn down in 1706). The castle grounds host the well-known Jardin Exotique, and from the top (429 m) you'll have a spectacular view of the coast!

Worth a photo of it's own, Jason.
Really a unique glass giant-pot, amazingly fit the corner - to break the strait lines of the paved alley, and match other glassed elements there.
Fine spotted and presented.

Hi Jason,
interesting in a good word, what a strange looking planter. I admire their confidence in leaving something like this on the street without fear of being broken. Such gigantic roots too, considering the plant peeking out the top is actually quite small.
Very nice splash of colour from the leading red path too, great composition.
Cheers
Noel

Hello Jason,

The glass pot works very good on the forground,
it creates an extra depth. Your lower position
makes the glass pot extra bigger and makes at
the same time also the picture extra exciting.
The "red stone path" and the vertical position
emphasize extra the depth. Light management is
also very good.

Friendly regards,
Robert
