Rue Répitrel, Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes. X20_DSCF2023

When I travel, I look forward to seeing new things to photograph but am not always instinctively drawn to the obvious tourist shots. Inevitably, I return with pictures from my familiar genres, transport, emergency vehicles, Chinese restaurants and sculpture but, sometimes during my wanderings, I often think 'what else can I do?'. This is one of three photographs from today when I 'did something else'. View from Escalier de l'Hôtel de Ville, Grasse. X20_DSCF2021

Impasse des Lièvres, Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes. This shot took a lot of work both on site where the contrast was almost unmanageable and later, having used common sense on the shoot, in pp. X20_DSCF1997

Les Toits de Grasse (2) The view north east from Place de Grand Puy, Grasse. X20_DSCF2012

I would not normally extend to four views of one tourist train but I make an exception for Le Petit Train de Grasse. The train and its route in the historic city of Grass, Alpes-Maritimes are very attractive. In this view, it is preparing for departure from a brief stop at Place de Grand Puy from which there is a panoramic view to the east and north east of the city. X20_DSCF2017

Les Toits de Grasse (1) As a photographer, I am responsible for seeing what I want to shoot, for imagining the composition and, ultimately for the outcome. It helps enormously to have a wonderful camera like the Fujifilm X20. This view of Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes is SOOC. X20_DSCF2027
