Monaco
WeeklyPrompts-Photo-Challenge-Yellow
As one who can remember the early seventies.
I do remember a Melbourne Department Store logo
telling us in no uncertain manner that everything
was ‘Yelping Yellow‘ this year.
And that was the only time I saw
any quantity of yellow that year.
However Monaco’s Street Art
had me singing again.
MGW tells me these yellow doors are part of
‘Alice in Wonderland‘ or ‘Narnia’.
I shall take her word for it.
Yellow from the garden.
Some early signs of spring are the
winter blooming acacia trees, and…
…the daffodils which bloom in August.
Spring is definitely here when the paddocks
turn yellow with canola blooms.
A 2019 sight that is a long way off.
Yellow is a nice bright, happy colour
to have around as we head into the depths of winter.
I should have written a long wet winter.
The days may be cooler, however we have only measured
two and a half inches up until April 30 this year.
Should be closer to 6 inches.
Luckily we had a little over an inch on May 2 and 3.

Blues and yellows from all over.
This was new to me.
I was unaware we had coast guard boats, as such,
let alone yellow ones.
Air Arctic at Coldfoot airport.
A local tourist train.
Fairbanks airport I think.
My favourite form this set.
Loved the song or The Beatles.
Not so sure now though.

Decided to stick to Church windows
this week.
Saint Matthew’s Church,
Manly, Sydney.
Saint John the Baptist Church,
Arras, France.
Wesley Church in Fremantle…
Western Australia.
Finally, it maybe a stretch to call this a windows,
however, it can be found in
Cathédrale Notre-Dame-Immaculée
(Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception),
also known as Saint Nicholas Cathedral and also
contains the tombs of
Princess Grace and Prince Rainier
of Monaco.

My contribution for
this week’s challenge
Letter-V
(Needs to start with V…contain at least 6 letters)
Monaco during our 2016 holiday/Vacation
Part of the Moorabool Valley near Geelong.
Most buildings in Amsterdam are Vertical, however,
some do lean like the Tower of Pisa.
Even from an altitude of 40,000 feet it is difficult
to appreciate the Vastness of the Antarctic ice pack.
I always The Creation of Adam would dominate
the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City.
However it was swallowed up by surrounding panels.
According to Wikipedia it is substantial
9 ft 2 in × 18 ft 8 inches, it is so far above
one’s head it seems you could
hold it in your hands.

My contribution for this week’s

Monaco seems to have a good combination of….
old cathedrals…
and Palaces.
From near the Royal Palace visitors…
are able to view all of new Monaco.

One of our stops when in Monaco was a visit to
CathédraleNotre-Dame-Immaculée
(Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception),
also known as Saint Nicholas Cathedral
(name of the old church, demolished in 1874),
In Saint Nicholas’ Cathedral we were shown
Princess Grace (Kelly), and…
Prince Rainier’s graves.
As most of us were of that age where we knew of and like/adored
Grace Kelly the actress, we spent a few quiet moments
remembering and photographing so that
we would remember this visit.
