#37 / Notre Dame de la Garde

This a view of the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde presiding over the city of Marseilles early in the morning as we were on the way to the fish market at the Vieux Port. The morning light catches the golden statue of the Virgin Mary on the top of the bell tower and shines brightly against the sky. The HLM below picks up the orange glow of the sun and the colours unite both the religious and secular in the warm glow of the Mediterranean sun.
