Today is Theme Day when we get to choose our best photo of the previous year. I liked the light and reflection of this shot taken inside the Hôtel de Paris. The walls are antique mirrors giving endless reflections of the opulent marble walls and beautiful lamps that are part of the foyer of this fabulous hotel.The smaller shot shows kids on a new ride on the port at Christmas. They are zipped into a ball and then roll themselves around the course where they have snow, sea, tempest and sand to contend with, yet all within the safety of their magical cocoon. You could say they are having a ball!

Hi Jilly, both are great, but the smaller shot has its own magic, is only a moment of pure joy and looks wonderful!!!
Truly stunning! As Monte Carlo as possible! And the kids are ... the image of happiness!
Vraiment époustouflant! Plus Monte Carlo c'est impossible!
Et les enfants sont ... l'image du bonheur!
Elle est magnifique, en effet, cette photo. Tu as bien choisi.
How well I remember the bottom photo which I, too, love. The top photo has an ethereal look about it.
I love the reflections of the lights
Two more great photos. The children in the bubble is priceless.
Both photos are lovely.
That a fabulous photo inside the hotel! Absolutely gilded!
I love the kids in the ball too. What a creative idea for a "ride!"
They both ate lovely!
That first shot is absolutely stunning! And the second, so fun!
Excellent choice! And, yes, the kids are clearly having a ball! What fun!
Jilly, the first is a very complex and lovely image. Your second, however, is wonderful in how it captures joy!
Bravo!!
A good choice.
I do remember the photo with the kids. A great shot!
Spectacular!
You have indeed chosen the best photos!! Beautiful!
It looks like Monte Carlo definitely has something for everyone. From marble walls to rolling around like a marble!
