I did say I wouldn't upload any more photos of the 'Nomad' sculpture by Jaume Plensa on the Antibes harbourfront. Technically this isn't a photo of the sculpture........ In the background are various super yachts, including the Carinthia VII which is apparently worth $120 million according to the internet.

Google translated from the www.antibes-juanlespins.com/culture/bastion-st-jaume website, "In 2007, La Grande Nomade d'Antibes was presented here as part of the temporary exhibition organized by the Picasso Museum and dedicated to the artist, Jaume Plensa. In 2010, the monumental sculpture returns as the permanent invitation to a journey in the sculpture whose space - made of emptiness and silence - beyond that of the material which constitutes it, opens and unfolds around she, gigantic figurehead of the bastion.
It was acquired by the City of Antibes with the participation of the State, the Regional Acquisition Fund for Museums (Ministry of Culture and Communication), the Association of Friends of the Picasso Museum, the Joint Stock Company of Port Vauban, and the International Yacht Club of Antibes."
