Enjoy these images from the French Riviera featuring St.Tropez and Port Grimaud set to this Latin-flavoured piece of music by the great 'Henry Mancini'.
The word 'Lujon' comes from a percussion instrument used in this arrangement. The composition is associated with the 'Mr. Lucky', but has been used more recently in various movie scores.
It has a steady laid-back Latin style like a warm breeze sweeping over a golden beach edged with palm trees; it is otherwise known as 'The Slow Hot Wind', or perhaps like in this case, strolling along soaking up the atmosphere somewhere on the French Riviera...
From the Album - 'Mr. Lucky Goes Latin' by - 'Henry Mancini'

I think of the countless swells we've surfed, end of the day, watching the sun set, tired, burned, cold beers and fresh fish.

Sometimes in the evenings when I am sad or tired, I watch this video. Then I listen and dream that I am sitting there in a little Brasserie, early evenings, sun is slowly going down, and I have a glass of champagne... Thanks a lot for the beautiful pictures . Comme Dieu en France...
