The Balcony


Place d'Armes - beautiful ironwork, faded shutters, the silhouette of a cigarette inside - and young eyes glued to the world beyond the balcony.

'Hymn to Life' by Mornar


This summer we saw an exhibition of art by the Croatian sculptor Mateo Mornar. This is called L'Hymne à La Vie - Hymn to Life. It stood on the corner of Casino Square near to the Café de Paris.

Now summer is almost over and this monumental sculpture has gone. I found the relationship between the two so moving.

The Ranger RZR by Polaris + Dog


This sexy vehicle was parked outside Stars n Bars where its owner was eating lunch. It wasn't until I went around the back that I saw the cute little Jack Russell.

The car, known as a Razor, is a side-by-side ATV (all terrain vehicle) only 50 inches wide, weighs 945 pounds and has a 4-stroke twin-cylinder 800 cc engine.

You can read all about its amazing capabilities by clicking on the following link - Ranger RZR made by Polaris.

Moods - The Fabs


Meet The Fabs - well, what else would you call a Beatles tribute band. They were great - from Italy but speaking English and French and singing, of course, in Liverpudlian! They do two shows a night, three on Fridays and Saturdays.

Tomorrow - we'll take a quick look at the interior of Moods, Monaco's Music Bar.

Just across from Casino Square and looking down on Port Hercule, it's hard to tell if this is a professional photographer and her model or two girls having fun - or perhaps both!
