The dancer stands on a blue globe of the world, with the Principality shown in gold - of course! Actually it's not a globe of the world but simply depicts the Mediterranean coastline of France and Italy , with Monte Carlo clearly marked - more detail in the photo below. It stands in the centre of Avenue Princesse Grace near to the Grimaldi Forum.

ReplyDeleteThat is why it is called the blue planet. This superb globe
nice
ReplyDeleteAh, the true centre of the universe revealed at last!
ReplyDeletelol! I guess the world really does revolve around Monaco! :) That's a great work of art.

oh wow what a statue and thanks for showing us the statue and not just the globe - magnifique!
ReplyDeleteA little "too much" for me, this statue, but blue, really!
ReplyDeleteI just looked and I think all your photos are blue. It appears it would be a challenge to take a photo in Monte Carlo and not include blue.
ReplyDeleteVery unusual and perfect for theme day!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful sculpture!
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that the globe is regional. The statue is graceful and looks well against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteAre the sky always this beautiful? It seems like it is almost always cloudless and blue.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo for the "blue" theme day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.
:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty globe.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty! Connais-tu l'artiste qui a créé cette sculpture?
ReplyDeleteGreetings New Yorkais
This is a great shot....how cool is this?
ReplyDeleteLovely--the colors, the shapes, the action captured by the statue. I especially like that she's also holding a globe. Is the star touching Monaco?
ReplyDeleteI like the spirit of the statue. Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteGroovy sculpture.
ReplyDeletefor me it looks like Germany is the center of this globe (well at least europe), because it is marked golden sourrounded by th eu-stars...
