Omigosh! It's a photo


That would be me in front of the abbey in Bath. It took ten minutes to upload this one picture and I only had the memory disc directory to choose from so I didn't know what the image was going to be. I'm going to randomly select more photos for this entry and we'll see what we get. I think I have time for one or two more.





That's a self portrait at Conwy Castle in Wales. You can kind of see the castle against the backdrop of the trees on the hillside. I'm standing on the town wall in this shot, too. I've got time for another random selection. Let's hope I'm not squinting in the next one. I hope it's a good photo because I haven't found the ' remove photo' button yet!



This is the 'Madonna and Child' by Michaelangelo and is located in Bruges, Belgium. It is one of the few of his works that ever left Italy. And you can see why. Most places would have displayed this standing up (and most bloggers know how to use their photo editing software well enough to know how to rotate an image)
This is one of the building disguises Munich uses when it's fixing up a place. They hang a 1 to 1 scale photo of what the place is gonna look like over the old building. It would work a lot better as a beautiful way of hiding the construction zone if it weren't for the giant advertising going on but that's probably what paid for the covreing in the first place.
So a few crappy photos to start with. I'll keep working on this aspect of the blog as computer time permits.

WHOO HOO!! PICTURES!!
I like reading, but as they(WHO is "they"?)say, "A picture is worth a thousand words".
Not so, I still need to READ about the pictures...
ANYWAY!! Keep up the info! We are learning a lot from your endeavors!
Now, I gotta go look up where Brive is. No idea. Never heard of it! The world is a lot bigger than I ever knew! Wish I was going with you!

My eMail is not working from this free computer so I'll let you know that the full name of this little town if Brive de Gaillard. It's kind of south but is not 'the South of France' kind of south.
