It's time for another France Photohunt! Please note that we've changed the guidelines a bit.
Here are the guidelines: You select one of your own photos to post that in some way utilizes the topic. Use the topic as a concrete prompt, or find a novel approach. Each person, just one post/photo per thread topic, (or two if you must)please. Photos should be resized to be no wider than 600 pixels. Too-large photos slow down the loading of the thread, and will be deleted. Read about how to post a photo in a thread, here. If you have an idea for a photo hunt topic, contact one of the Mods to offer the suggestion instead of beginning another thread.
Posting photos in the thread gives your permission for SlowTrav to eventually move the photos over to Photohunt albums in the Slow Photos site.
This week's prompt is "Sparkling"
You're encouraged to describe your photo--where you shot it, details of what you were doing or what was going on, etc.
The sunlight sparkles on the surface of the river Orb, just below the village of Ceps in Hérault, Languedoc. I'd just finished a 10 km promenade randonnée in the hills overlooking the river; driving over that bridge, I noticed people swimming in the river below, so parked the car and joined them. Deliciously refreshing!

A display of bangle bracelets sparkles in the July sunshine. This is one of my teenage daughter's favorite stands at the Saturday morning market in Apt.
The sparkle of the Mediterranean off Cassis on a warm day on September 20 2007. A class of young students in small sailboats are being towed out into open water where they had a great time sailing on their own.
Luxembourg Jardin fountain on a hot, sultry humid July afternoon. The mist that fell from the sparkling water shooting every which way in the scorching sunshine was like a cool soothing shower! I stood in it for ages, taking a lot of photos and then finally walked home through the garden, in the shade of the trees...cooling off as I evaporated!

This was taken on one of the most beautiful days of our walk on the "Chemin de Stevenson" last summer, between Cheylard L’Eveque and La Bastide Puy Laurent, a very remote area of the Lozère. The sun sparkled through the forest, making Charley (in the middle) and other walkers seem almost magical on the trail.
Ok, ok...another look at the Eiffel Tower. There's no such thing as a bad photo of this structure. I have over 100 in my photo file from our evening there, and they are all amazingly good. I was totally surprised, because I most often toss out as many photos as I keep. But, this glorious evening at the Tower, it seems that every image is a keeper!

Department store window, January, 2008. We had spent New Year's Eve at a country house in the Loire valley with friends. Then off to Paris for a week before heading home. In France, they leave the lights and decorations up for quite a while after New Year's, so they really make the dark winter days sparkle!
