FĂȘte des Fleurs
















It's Springtime - time for the Festival of Flowers... I'm not sure that this is something typically done every where. In fact, I don't believe it is. This is in Haut Cagnes-Sur-Mer (pronounced oh-ca-nye-sur-mare) - translates to the top of Cagnes on the sea. At the very top, with a view of both the sea and mountains, is a small castle where the Flower Festival was held.































The exhibits and presentations were beautiful - certainly I had never seen anything like this done with flowers before.
















This is a view of the ceiling in the great room of the castle. I found this to be particularly strange as the horses and carriage look like its falling on you. I'm not really sure if there is some significant meaning behind it.
