The Summer Sporting of Monaco
Yesterday in Monaco. We are looking at the Summer Sporting in the foreground - here you find all the big stars performing in summer. And here you'll find Jimmyz nightclub too. Beyond that you see a tiny promontory with the Restaurant La Vigie. And in the distance, Cap Martin.

How to Relax ...
Fontvieille Harbour
Too much technology? It's always therapeutic to walk amongst the boats and look at the ever-changing patterns in the water.

Louis Vuitton's geese
This is a photo I took before Christmas - hence the Santa Claus hat on the top goose! I'd rejected it because the woman's feet are out of frame - but needs must - with so many roads still impassable in Gorbio it takes so long to get to Monaco at the moment then I'm showing you old pics.

Asleep at the Wheel
If the guy who parks those expensive cars outside the casino blinks as he is parking a car and you click the shutter at the same time he looks 'asleep at the wheel' - which he isn't.

Steps, steps
You need to be fit if you live in this part of Beausoleil. Beausoleil is in France, of course, but borders Monaco. In fact, some streets are Monaco on one side and Beausoleil on another.
This photo was taken in 2010 on the camera before the camera before the .... and in those days I took photos only in jpg format.

Mirrored columns
This is a photo of reflections from two mirrored columns in a Monaco shopping centre. The first two sections are two sides of one column. The third one is not a reflection. And the fourth is another reflection.

Ferrari and Rolls Royce
This is an alternative view of the cars we saw yesterday. That's the Hotel de Paris on the left, the Casino entrance is behind me. The Christmas trees have now been removed so if you'd like to see a LIVE WEBCAM of Casino Square, click on the link.

Celebrity cow!
The cow seems more interested in being photographed than in holding the little girl's hand.
Obviously a cow who craves celebrity.

Waiting for the bus
This beauty has two wheelies and an enormous flat package and is waiting for a bus that probably never arrived. The reason? Later I saw her at the bus stop on the other side of the road ... still waiting.

The Christmas Village - Fast Food
Fast food - French style. And lots of Nutella!
Not sure why Santa Claus is wearing a pair of shorts and playing a guitar!

A Walk on 'le rocher'
This was taken on le rocher - the palace is behind me and this couple are walking towards the barrier where they'll look down on the glorious view of Port Hercule and the yachts with the Christmas village and ice-rink alongside.
I couldn't decide if I liked it better in colour or black and white - so here are both!

Iced Over
Dusk over the swimming pool on Port Hercule which has been transformed into an ice rink for Christmas. You see the yachts in the background and on the right is 'le rocher' where you find the cathedral and the palace.

Fontvieille Harbour
A part of Fontvieille harbour. Yesterday was glorious. Today - so far - rain. The buildings you see are on land reclaimed from the sea. The rockface above is known as the 'Head of the Dog.'
