On the Rocks

View of the Mediterranean from high above the rocks near the Luminy University in Marseille.

Damn, if I knew where this university was located 25 years ago, I might have chosen to study there rather than Grenoble or Strasbourg, but we didn't have internet back in 1992.

The university buildings are in a lovely setting among a pine forest near trails that lead to breathtaking cliffs and beautiful coves (calanques), a world away from the eye shattering ugliness of Marseille public housing of gargantuan Soviet style apartments which make the city look like Novosibirsk-sur-Mer.

 

And WHY IS FLICKR SO SLOW LATELY? AGAIN??
