I love the B&W Shot. The rain has made that shot I think, with the wetness glistening!!!
great shot of the old boy snoozing. I'd do s seperate version fo that cropped around the two bushes flanking him.

Nice shots. I like the first one and the mono shot.
Best wishes,

That's an excellent point Smegster. I love looking at those shots when researching trips and holidays (or just randomly wasting time online ) but have never bothered uploading one.

Ah the memories come flooding back. 30 odd years ago I was back-packing around Europe and by the time I arrived in Monaco I was totally skint, like less than a Pound, and so resorted to sleeping on beaches.
Well of course that's tough to do in Monaco with a huge harbour, no sand and the police would not let you settle anywhere of course .... have to maintain the image.
However the police would direct you to walk all the way out to the sea-wall (you can just see it in the first shot - behind the crane) ...... and over it, and that's where all the back-packers slept, they had even set up showers for us ! All well out of sight of the Ferrari Ferragamo crowd !
Thanks for posting those !

View over Port Hercule from up by the palace - on the larger version you can see resurfacing work and some of the pits/grandstands going up in preparation for events this weekend.
Now on the water in Port Hercule, with the first pano taken from high up on the very left. Note the weather closing in ominously...
A final pano of the iconic casino - at this point it had been raining a couple of hours, which gave the Mrs chance to 'shelter' in the shops
And there are more, just not online yet. One thing's for sure, with tens of thousands of fans and tens of thousands of horsepower packing the principality this weekend, I'll bet the old fella has a hard time doing this on Sunday afternoon....
