I enjoy independent travel. Serendipity, and my trusty and handy aim-and-snap digicam, are my constant companions. This is a photoblog of places I have visited, and people I have met.

Monte Carlo, Monaco, 28 May 2006: Formula 1 Grand Prix Rally
All over Monte Carlo, tall barricades block public view of the race track. Grandstand seats cost a few hundred Euros each. Other vantage points - bridges, terraces - are zealously guarded. No one gets past these keen-eyed officers without a valid ticket pass.
For the determined, it is still possible to steal a peek of the racing action for free. Follow the crowd uphill to a knoll overlooking the port. The outdoor dining area of a cafeteria at the peak offers a panoramic view. The race begins. The air reverberates in a long guttural roar as cars thunder past.
