A balcony above the distant water

The View towards the City looks past a brightly coloured building and railing towards low structures beside the waterfront. A broad curved blue area fills the upper distance. The close architecture provides strong angles against the more open water and sky.

Buildings stepping towards the hillside

Landscape, Menton sets warm orange, green and pale façades below a strongly coloured hill and bright blue sky. Small trees interrupt the blocks. The clear adjoining planes make the town read as an arrangement of colour while retaining its different levels and routes.

Dark verticals within an open setting

The Power Pole raises tall poles above low buildings, pale ground and distant hills. Their narrow silhouettes contrast with the broader horizontal bands. Compare the sparse upright structure with the more crowded arrangement of roofs and walls in the town views.
