Picture of the Week #260 "Monte Carlo Zoom" Monte Carlo, Monaco 1981 Signed & Stamped

The major drawback to photography is lack of sound. The roar of the engines and the whirring and screeching of tires and the cheer of the crowd are exhilarating. But when you see this photo you don't realize the excitement that is rampant in the air. Here was a hot but magnificent sun drenched day on the Riviera and yet it almost looks like a slow parade of fast cars nonchalantly going down the track. When in fact there was so much more. An event that must be experienced at least once in a life time.
