Dear prudence

Slight poetic licence at work here, because this was taken by a very large lake (commonly known as the Mediterranean). It is cocktail o'clock on a yacht stationed a short distance beyond the Monte Carlo harbour, presumably to avoid the colossal mooring fees that would otherwise apply when Formula One is in residence. Shot taken during the 2011 Monaco Grand Prix weekend. A tripod would have been useful, given the light, but a conveniently located wall was probably the next best thing. Lens: Pentax FA 28-105mm f3.2-4.5.
