This photo of Marseille harbour is very beautiful despite having little colour, and a background view that is hard to see clearly. The Marseille it portrays is not especially realistic – very few of the ships in Marseille harbour are decked with rigging – but that hardly matters.
The question is, would it make you want to go to Marseille if you saw the picture in a travel brochure (I bought the picture for use in a travel website) – and would you be disappointed when confronted with the reality?
