-Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 76
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photos taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own images with an up or down perspective.
**************************************************************************************
When your feet ache from walking, your purse hurts from shopping and you need a break from the heat of the sun, head down to the Vieux Port and join one of the many trips to the Calanques.
The rugged coastline here is best seen from the sea, so grab your sun screen and camera, sit back and enjoy.
These steep-walled inlets, known as calanques from Occitan word calanca, extend for 20 km along the coast between Marseille and Cassis.
Some prefer to enjoy the area in an active manner, be it from sea level
or from a higher view point. If you opt to hike the marked trails around here, or to scale the limestone walls, there’s no doubt you’ll be rewarded by spectacular views.
However you choose to view them, they have to be a must-see if you are in this area of southern France.

Welcome to week 76 and a huge thank you to all who participated last week. My pick from last week is Klara’s shot of the workmen peering over the edge of a building. Not my idea of a fun job!

The easy way here is to do a boat trip. But I think there are easy hikes too

I am a fan of the water and boats, but not heights, although I love views from above. I would take the kyak option. 🙂
