White wine bottle and two glasses on a balcony table at dusk over the sea.

The 19:00 light on the balcony, ice melting slowly.

Victor Janin
Small bistro table and mismatched chairs under flowering bougainvillea on a whitewashed lane.

A scatter of white sailboats anchored in a forest-rimmed cove in calm dark blue water.

Sailboats sliding past, somebody else's holiday.
