Milano


20160418_115734-01.jpeg

Milan is a beautiful city, barely 5 hours from my home and which I had the chance to visit in 2016 and where I took so many shots that I can post until the end of my life without showing the same twice...😁Milan est une ville magnifique, à peine 5 heures de chez moi et que j'ai eu la chance de visiter en 2016 et où j'ai réalisé tellement de clichés que je peux poster jusqu'à la fin de mes jours sans remontrer les mêmes ...😁
Here is a view of the Vittorio Emmanuel II gallery from the Duomo PlaceVoici ci-dessous une vue de la galerie Vittorio Emmanuel II depuis la place Du dôme
The town of Milan has splendid buildings with magnificent architecture 😊La ville de Milan a des batiments splendides avec une magnifique architecture 😊

Metro


20160417_160741-01.jpeg

Here is besides the Metro of MilanVoici d'ailleurs le métro de Milan
I think in English they rather use the word "subway" but since metro comes from the French word Metropolitan, I thought that a little chauvinism and a word of French learned during this hunt could not hurt ... 😉Je crois qu'en anglais on utilise plutôt le mot "subway" mais dans la mesure ou metro vient du mot français *metropolitain" , j'ai pensé qu'un peu de chauvinisme et un mot de français appris durant cette chasse ne pourrait pas faire de mal ...😉

Margaux (chateau Margaux)

The Chateau Margaux is a very well-known wine, so much so that we say "a Margaux" and we immediately know what it is ..😄Le chateau Margaux est un vin très connu, à tel point qu'on dit "un Margaux" et l'on sait tout de suite de quoi il s'agit ..😄


20140824_154542-01.jpeg

it is a french"premier grand cru Classé" of Bordeaux winesc' est un "premier grand cru classé" des vins de Bordeaux
The two Margaux are here in the company of two bottles of another Bordeaux grand cru, the Saint-EmilionLes deux Margaux sont ici en compagnie de deux bouteilles d'un autres grand cru bordelais,le Saint-Emilion
This is not my personal cellar, no need to befriend me so as to taste wines at home, I am not connoisseur, but I am French, so necessarily a little proud of our unrivaled wines ... 😁Il ne s'agit pas de ma cave personnelle, nul besoin de me demander en ami pour déguster des vins chez moi, je ne suis pas très connaisseuse, mais je suis française, donc forcément un peu fière de nos vins inégalables...😁


f0pmxabybl.png

Macaroon

To accompany this wine (or not)... here are top-model macaroons that have been not only photographed, but also devoured, as you can imagine..😋Pour accompagner ce vin (ou pas) voici des macarons top-models qui se sont laissés photographier, mais aussi dévorer, vous vous en doutez bien..😋
I added textures to accentuate the still life effectJ'ai rajouté des textures pour accentuer l'effet nature morte

Monkey

Here is the monkey I had on hand..😁Voilà le singe que j'avais sous la main..😁
A painting that I made last year for my son who asked me for an elephant and a monkey, so here they are in the same frame ...Un tableau que j'ai réalisé l'année dernière pour mon fils qui m'avait demandé un éléphant et un singe, donc les voici dans une même peinture ...

Market


20160410_111745-01.jpeg

One of the nicest places for a market is the old town of Annecy, France ...Un des endroits les plus agréables pour un marché est la vieille ville d'Annecy...
the setting is perfect and so romantic that fruits and vegetables sell there for more than elsewhere..😄 ... and yes, a place like that you have to pay for it, one way or another 😉le cadre est parfait et si romantique que les fruits et légumes s'y vendent plus cher qu'ailleurs..😄...et oui, un endroit pareil ça se paie, d'une façon ou d'une autre 😉

Thank you @bigsambucca and I'm happy you have visited this beautiful place that is Milano..;we also went to the Cuomo Lake and I confess I prefer to be in natural landscapes than urban ones, but I love to enjoy beautiful architectures when I can and for that, our beautiful Europe has many treasures to offer as well as history, and magnificent landscapes too..😉
Wish you a wonderful%20day%20bird.png

Wow, the weeks run so fast, I have just posted my L words and we are already hunting the M 😀

My congratulations to the L winners @deerjay, @jadeaca, @melinda010100, @txatxy and @redheadpei 👍😁

You are presenting us some nice words and beautiful photos, Barbara, and your Monkey painting is sweet 😀
In old towns like Milan you can probably photograph anything and it will be beautiful.


Cheers and !BEER

Wow another week of amazing entries to enjoy once again.

So nice to see your photographs without people wearing masks in them, how quickly we forget the way things should be.

Loved the Elephant and Monkey greeting for your sons birthday wishes.

I can help you @shemzy 😊
If I were you, I would have a look at the posts that participate in the challenge and these would illustrate nicely the guide lines that are :

each week there is a different letter that we "hunt", which means that we look for words that begin with this letter...

this is so simple !

You have to find 6 different words that start with the letter and you show a photo (taken by you) of the word and you write one or two sentences about it ...

Have a look to other's post and you will understand what they are doing...I think you can even see in mine that I have proposed 6 words starting by letter M that is the letter of the week : Milano , Metro, MMargaux, macaroon, Monkey, market and each time I showed one photo (or more if you want) of each to illustrate the word.

if you have posted your alphabet hunt in the Feel Good community (hive-190931) you have besides an automatical participation to a lucky draw I make on the thursday

(please refer in my post for the wednesday submitting deadline, it's written in it)

The letter changes on thursday, I make a post this day with the result of the lucky draw and I open the next hunt with the next letter of the alphabet and my own selection (that normally would be enough to understand it all...😒 )

I am a bit late, but anyway! Barbara, now I can enjoy your great post in full.

I took so many shots that I can post until the end of my life

that would be very welcome! I cant remember a single one Milano streetphoto from you. er?..

this car and inscriptions are precious -- once I have seen and photographed same model in Marmaris, Turkey, it was parked in a dead end.. like having an eternal sleep. seems it is something good old and vintage, from the pat epoch -> thus, precious!

Metro is Metro in Russian, too! not the SUbway, not the Tube or anything. cool.
from the rest entries the Annecy Market was the sweetest - and I already have seen those views at other posts and seems can recognize them. nice!
but I did not understand what these lovely-looking Macaroons are, actually. sorry. in Russian the same word -- Macaroons, Макароны - means simply the Pasta :=)

PS. great posts this time got the strains and the prize. super!
