Sault, Provence.
It’s half an hour before noon.
The restaurant tables on the town square are waiting for the hungry crowd to arrive.
Everything still neatly arranged, crisp and untouched.
Not for long now …

Especially if I were there. I'd take the place by storm. It's 1:12a.m. and I'm STARVING! I got busy writing and forgot to eat dinner!
love the reflection in the window, so creative
Wonderful.
I love reflections and derelict/weathered places and that window does look like an old dame, with a new world being reflected in her trifocals...
OMGosh...that picture of that window with the reflection is wonderful. I thought they were inside until I looked at it for a while. Excellent my friend.
Delightful. What do they serve? The weathered windows add to the effect. And no people? Like an empty stage, waiting for the show to begin.
The contrast in the photo is perfect and what I appreciate most...the beautiful neglected, weather beaten building and the flawless attention paid to the tables.
Love the photo. The reflection really helps to bring out the atmosphere.
Ditto to many of the comments already written. A window that reflects a story as opposed to letting you see in or out. Nice shot.
Beautiful reflection, Jientje!! The one thing I don't agree with the French is their -for me-way too early lunch hours!! in Spain it is normal to go to a restaurant at 2pm (unless you want to eat alone!) but the cook isn't there before 1pm so no chance for a warm meal before 1:30pm! Vive la difference! :)
Hello Jientje. I'm happy to reacquaint myself with you (we, inexplicably, drifted). I like this window for it has great character. The subtle reflection also adds nice interest and color.
Perfection! I love windows, especially this one.
Sigh...I was just reading an older cooking magazine highlighting the French countryside. It made me hungry then, and I am more hungry now!
the weathered wood and peeling paint is wonderful
and the cafe reflection is delightful
FABULOUS!!! LOVE this reflection! ... but... did you notice the broken wall to the right? Do you see Picasso's work there? I SEE a face!!! And it looks like something Picasso would have done!
Love this, Jientje.
I hope the tables and chairs were in a better state then the window, lol !
Love the weathered window. Great reflection shot!
Interesting window, with the different sizes and shapes of the glass! And what better place to have lunch and a glass of wine!
Lovely shot - and well executed. As always.
You poor little confuzzled thing...

The reflection in the window is perfect!
You amaze me.
Wow, there is so much happening with this window! What an amazing shot. I studied it for a while. Love that weathered old wood framing the window, and the reflections of the tables with their yellow napkins...and the white curtain..and everything else!
Love that photo!
I can't wait until you get here! We can teach each other whole new ways to look at things!
Love the reflections in the glass!
Window views are interesting from either inside looking out or outside looking in....
great job!
When I saw the reflection I remembered the yummy omelets I had in Paris - I am pretty sure they are even yummier in Provence. Wonderful setting!
I do so love your pictures! I find it hard to put into words what I think of them. In this case the pictures are sure better than the words especially as I just can't seem to find the right ones. Somehow "That is a nice picture" really does not cut it. the pictures are so much better than that. I do so love your pictures!
@ Everyone: Thanks for all your comments! I'm so behind on commenting there really is not enough time today to answer each one individually. But I appreciate each and every comment. Oh and welcome to anyone who dropped in here for the first time. I hope to see you all again soon!
Loved the carved window frame! But honestly, it left me with a desire to go find a scraper and a can of fresh pain ;)
