I'll post some random different ones for anyone's amusement.

This is next to a field with trees all around that i go lay in about 3 blocks away from my grandparents house in Tavistock. It was a nice little retreat though, especially when it was raining. The house looked a touch wabi-sabi mostly because the unevenly broken windows and lopsided door but lonely. Maybe that's just because i was kind of lonely at the time. Someone else goes there too though because i found this

and a couple socks in a tree. Speaking of trees i found the best tree so far, i don't know if it's big enough to see really [camera doesn't zoom in very far] but here

Eurostar:

it was surprisingly old fashioned and clunky looking. It got us under the ocean and back though. Completely random London:

More interesting:

'Twas in a park in Paris [Jardin du Luxembourg] I don't know if you can really see it but they had these big clippings from a scene in the park and they put them in clear plastic sheets or something and hung them from this building so it changes from every angle but the scene can still be seen.
Teehee. Fun picture.

The first taken from the smaller pyramid. The other taken from below the huge pyramid in the courtyard of le Museé du Louvre where you buy tickets and whatnot...very good planning actually. And i found it interesting that the late french president, François Mitterrand, asked for La Pyramide to have exactly 666 glass panels in it for whatever reason. Designed by I.M. Pei, it's 70ft. tall and is really controversial in Paris. And like i was saying earlier, there's about 65, 300 peices of art and would take an estimated five weeks to really appreciate all of them! It's the longest building in Europe because of the horseshoe shape and the courtyard is a million square feet wide between the two wings. To walk the perimeter it would be about 3 miles! And even though it's only two levels the ceilings are so tall it's seems like it's about 5 storeys up [like the below picture]. Amazing.

The ceilings of the Louvré were beautifully built...furnished...painted...everything in detail, and this was one of the smallest galleries there. The biggest is the Grand Gallery in the Denon section which primarily houses the italian paintings [including the Mona Lisa]

Also good planning; Le Metro:

I was surprised at how big it was and the funny noise it made then i realized they run on huge tires so it's not really a train. The stained glass in Notre Dame were beautiful as well even if you don't get what they're trying to show [like moi], i consider it more art than anything else.

more so with flash though.
Boat rides! That was probably the best part [Especially at night]. Water+cool+good viewing+cheap. Last night out:
[La Seine]
Bye for now.
