Pictures from Nice and Surrounding Areas
January, 2005

	Medium Large	Fort in the Bay of Antibes. Antibes is west of Nice.
	Medium Large	Antiques/junk market in Antibes.
	Medium Large	Looking back at Nice from Antibes. You can see the observatory towards the right.
	Medium Large	People playing petanque, which seems to be the national sport in this part of France. I'm not positive, but I think you have to be old to play.
	Medium Large	There was a big snowstorm on Jan. 24th, and this is from the following day on my way to the observatory. According to co-workers, significant snowfall at the observatory, which is only at 1000' elevation, has happened only a few times in the last decade (it proceeded to happen again on the 28th). There were only flurries in the city itself.
	Medium Large	The entrance to the observatory. Notice the snow-capped palm trees.
	Medium Large	View of Nice from the observatory.
	Medium Large	View along the coast from the observatory.
	Medium Large	My building, with snow-covered mountians in the background.
	Medium Large	Shot of the Port of Nice from Mt. Boron, just east of the city.
	Medium Large	The fort on Mt. Alban, just east of the city. Given its fort-like position, this was the best shot I could get of it. The other side is neater.
	Medium Large	The front door. Even though the drawbridge was down, the door was locked.
	Medium Large	Looking East along the coast from Mt. Alban.
	Medium Large	A football (ie. soccer) field down below. Even the fields in Tucson had more grass than most of the ones here.
	Medium Large	Another gratuitous observatory shot.
	Medium Large	For some reason, there are a bunch of goats in a park that I passed on the way back home from Mt. Alban.
