The Almost Silhouette


The light catches the water as it dances in the fountain. The casino is just behind. An iconic view of Monte Carlo - a photo taken by thousands of visitors each year. After all these years, I suppose I should feel it's all too corny for words, so don't tell anyone, but actually I still love it! Here it is almost in silhouette.

  2. I think that the minute you no longer find this beautiful and wonder at it, is a sign that you have lost joy for life and I will be very worried for you.

    The fountain is beautiful, Jilly! And that gorgeous building in the background is a casino?? Wow.

  6. Yes, beautiful! Great photo and most fascinating the water. Well, typical Monaco - diamonds instead of water!

  10. I think it's splendid Jilly!!! Don't apologize. It is a perfect shot of Monte Carlo!!

    I never fail to take 100 photographs of la Tour Eiffel each time I'm there and never tire of it. It's something i can't stop myself from doing. I hope I never get over that! :)

  11. Great photo. I am one of those tourists who have photographed the casino. I have a couple of pictures of it in my office. Your photo is much more creative.

    There's something special in the way you captured this view as an almost b&w silhouette.
