The sun sets over Marseille’s Old Port.

Marseille, being a 2600-year-old port, is obviously quite famous for it’s Old Port. The new port is a hive of large ships, large cranes and a lot of noise. At the old port, you can see a seafood market which is still operating after God knows how long. Every morning local restaurants purchase the seafood and every evening locals and tourists alike eat it.

The night we were here I had what is undoubtedly the best Bouillabaisse I’ve ever had. It was prepared properly (the soup and seafood cooked separately, the soup is poured over the prepared seafood which was presented to me for my approval) and was mind-blowing. Marseille is where Bouillabaisse was invented, after all.

As I took this shot–and the rest of the series– I remember thinking how lucky I was to have such an incredible view and that I’d wanted to take shots like this for a long, long time. I love how it came out, too.  The sun just kissing the building, the two towers poking out amongst the spindly masts. Fantastic.
