Travel Photography - That One Night in Monaco

in #photography7 years ago

Monaco is an eerie city when you're wondering around it by day. At night, it is completely different. During the day, there's barely on cars on the road, and its still, it genuinely feels like a ghost town, even around the F1 track. At night, it comes to life, with the casinos, restaurants, and hotels all making a roaring trade - tourists, mainly, and the super cars parked out the front of everything.

I took this photo on one of those very nights, and got to use some railing as a makeshift tripod. Really happy with the saturation and sharpness I managed to achieve with such a long shutter time. I can't begin to fathom the amount of wealth that would be held in each of those apartments, with the citizens of Monaco known for their tax-haven seeking-ness (I'm making up words today) and their International renown as success stories.

I am amazed to read this article because after reading this article my mind becomes open.I realize, I have been too closed with new things and feel already know.

This article reminds me to keep digging and keep searching for information and new things.
But I have not understood the substance of the positive thought itself as to what and how to make our minds become positive. Maybe in another article can explain a little bit the meaning of positive thoughts.

Great picture, I also liked how you described Monaco, it is mad to think that it is like a ghost town during the day to only awaken at night time. Interesting.

Someday, I'd like travel Monaco. Monaco is one of romantic city in my mind yet. I take one more real information from your post. :) Thank you. @holoz0r

Wow nice post man. I am a huge fan of night time cities, I must visit. Did you enjoy the trip ? For how long ahve you stayed there ? :).

It was just the one night in Monaco, was on a tour through Europe at the time. Was incredible. The food, the cars, the night life was amazing; everyone was dressed to impress and the atmosphere was "sophisticated" party. Definitely the sort of place to have your best clothes on!

Hmmm, to be honest, I am more of the "be yourself, dress how you want, say what you want" guy, I would maybe like the city form the outside, but would not feel comfortable. Thank you for sharing !

Looks and sounds like a nice place.

How are the prices like there? Like how much would you expect to pay for a two course meal?

I think I paid about fifty euro. Not too bad given its quality! Included a drink at that cost, too!

Still expensive though. But well, it's Monaco, one would expect that :)

Monaco is such a nice city ! Don't spend to much time in casino ! 😅

I didn't even set foot inside! :)

oh I didn't know monca is a bit quiet in the day time. beautiful view. Hope to visit there one day.

It was very strange, didn't see one other car on the road during the daytime. Not even the sounds of dogs barking, just the sounds of waves crashing!

Ah, come one! More pictures!
