This lady is walking along the pit lane which, as of yesterday, was nose to tail with the team trucks.
This reflection, on a very shiny motorbike, shows a small boat being hoisted, ready to enter the water. 
It's not just the stands that have to be built - the yachts have to be polished...
Maybe this guy has come to the wrong Grand Prix? No matter ... the policeman, as always, is very helpful and anyway, take at look at the bikes in the smaller photo, one of which is his. He probably enjoys chatting with another biker.
Not long now and these stands will be jammed with Formula One fans. The construction goes on for months - I can't remember when it started but probably in March. Here's a list of what has been installed:
In less than a week the Formula 1 teams and their cars will arrive in the Principality.
Princess Caroline (SAS Princess of Hanover) is the President of the Garden Club of Monaco and as you can see in the small photo, there was a large group of photographers waiting for her. She visited all the strands and also awarded prizes in the many flower arranging categories.
You could buy a sign, painted on wood and pretend you are an artist. I should probably buy the one shown in the smaller photo but unfortunately not all my dogs can read - it says 'Beware Vicious Owner.'
Dressed-up ladies are a feature of this Garden Club event. Some with hats, some without as you see here.
You want an eight-foot velvet elephant or a friendly cheetah (perhaps it's a leopard?) then you've come to the right place although I can't quite work out how either would cope in the rain. Perhaps they are simply on display as part of this year's theme at Garden Dreams which is an hommage to Africa.
This weekend you'll find tents galore on the terraces of the Casino with everything you can imagine for a garden at 'Rêveries sur jardin' which means Garden Dreams.
