I am going to be doing up a bit of a longer Monaco/Monte Carlo post in the next week or two, but in the meantime, I thought I would post up a few of my photos from there. I was lucky to get there at one point in the afternoon where there were few people around, so I had time to set up my tripod and take some long-exposure shots, which I turned into these HDR photos.
I hope you like them.
When I decided on my original early route for the Train Challenge, I didn’t think I was going to come this way, but I am glad I did. After the not-so-great start for me on this challenge, France and Monaco were a pleasantly easy and nice few days. The easiest part of the whole thing was getting there — thanks to Eurail.com, our primary European sponsor.
What I really needed to do was wait around for a few months, hit these spots, then back up for one of the ski holidays in Austria. With the heat at the moment a cool and refreshing ski trip would be the perfect thing to revive me for the rest of my journey.

The photos of the railway station are excellent!
Been a long time since I was in the South of France around Juan les Pins and Cannes.
I was 22 then and now I’m in my early 50′s so I bet there have been many changes.
Cool photos, thanks for sharing…
that whole part of the whole is truly beautiful. If and when I ever get a better budget… I will be back.
I was in Montecarlo ages ago and didn’t have my camera yet, it was very pretty, bt can I say I felt it was a little overrated?

Thanks for sharing

The train station was one of my favorite parts of Monaco, although the aquarium does beat it. I remember it being dark and gray, not this light. I also remember it being closed and having to change trains for some reason at the border to italy. Ok, memories are a bit sketchy that far back.
Can you make an HDR picture out of a single shot or does it need to be multiple ones taken at the same time? I would love to play with that kind of thing. (Add to increasingly long list.)
