I want to warmly thank those (a handful) who regularly fave my pictures when so many content themselves with stealing my searches while consciously remaining hidden behind their computer screen.

I hope you (the unassuming) now know that there's more in Côte-d'Azur than sunny shots of the sea and picturesque buildings:

I collect visual documents to describe the world as I see it.

Though the Flickr ToS -Terms of Service- state that as soon as a document is published on the Flickr platform the issuer de facto relinquishes any and all rights to that document, some keep on putting watermarks, signatures, names and copyrights on their photographs.
