Prep for the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix – 8 photos

posted in Monaco on April 24, 2021 by Bob Ramsak 0 Comments

For the Monaco F1-curious, here are eight photos from the lead-in to the Monaco Grand Prix, which returns this year after the Covid pandemic forced its cancellation in 2020. These were mostly taken from La Rocher, the ‘rock’ where the old town and Prince’s Palace are perched.

Moving in. Watch your head. And look out for the birds.

This is BobRamsak.com, a public notebook by Bob Ramsak.

I’m a long-time journalist, photographer and researcher driven by passions for environmental, social and refugee justice. I’ve visited 62 countries and write something and make pictures (almost) every day. This site is a notebook and photolog where I track and (sometimes) comment on those interests, journal my travels and log my current obsessions. At the moment the most dominant ones are the global response to the climate crisis and a renewed passion for birding and bird photography.

This site primarily serves as a garden for my memories and experiences, which I hope visitors will find useful or of interest. If you find something helpful here, or have a thought or insight to add, please leave a comment or drop me a line to let me know. I’ll be delighted to make your acquaintance.

Based in Nice, France, after two decades in Slovenia.

All views mine.

You’ll be surprised by what you’ll find.
