Monaco · PHOTO JOURNAL

Monaco, between city and sea.

This Monaco photo journal brings together wide harbour views and small details found between the buildings and the sea. Ten photographs move from daylight along the coast to lights reflected in the evening water.

A panorama of Monaco with terracotta roofs, hillside buildings and yachts across the blue harbour

From the panorama to the water’s edge

The opening panorama gathers roofs, hills and boats into one view. From the rocky waterfront, the city becomes a backdrop to the coast. At water level, masts and reflections replace the skyline. These changing viewpoints give the harbour a different character in each photograph.

Gardens, stone and evening light

A planted path, a garden and a beach promenade interrupt the denser city scenes. The cathedral photograph focuses on pale stone and carved arches against the sky, while another view places older stone surroundings beside modern buildings. The journal closes with the lights of a ship making patterns across the harbour.
