Unexpected indeed! What is that thing? At first I thought it was a hearse.

New York suddenly became the hometown of anybody born in the United States on September 11th, 2001. Here is the view looking down from the top of the World Trade Center, which you will not be seeing again. Please notice the shadow and just imagine...

Amazing. I'm not stalking you, Kerouac, I just find our photography really good. Dat's all.

There are about 5 places in Paris where this is authorized. Just imagine if it could be done everywhere.

Not my home town, but this photo might surprise a few people. Disney Studios Paris - part of the set of 'Reign of Fire'

Years ago, when the Twin Towers were new, my brother gave me a really cool 3-D postcard of them, which I had for years. Wish I had it now! I looked at your picture, Kerouac, before reading the caption. It's a wonderful shot, but sad and shocking when you realize what it is.
Love the hot-colored paving stones (?), Rikita. What was the occasion.
Gosh, can you imagine coming around the corner and confronting that grouping in #39?!
Rikita, the waterfall is too beautiful for words and I love how you captured the various shapes and textures and the cool wetness. Is it natural, or man-made?

bixa - the pavement is from an art-festival that takes place once per year in the area i live in. it's called "48 hours neukölln"... not sure if the waterfall is natural, i suppose it might not be though... it's in a park...

Thanks, Rikita ~~ the pavement is very effective as art. Ha ~~ so much for Melbourne's sedate reputation! Ilbonito, I was particularly amused by seeing this ideogram right below the buttocks. ;D

Paris is completely covered with the same Scissor Sisters album cover at the moment.

Yes, I was disappointed with the album though spindrift - its similar to the kanji for fire (in Japanese) but I have a feeling the sign writer didn't really understand what he was writing, it is slightly wrong (unless that is a different character I don't know, very possible!)

The ugly 'Front de Seine' area is going through a major makeover to remove some of the 1970's mistakes.

k2 - I went to the Galleries Tang building especially when I was in Paris (and the russian cathedral because it was in the neighborhood) Love it!

The Beaugrenelle is a treasure store for potential kitschy, quirky, ironic or post-apocalyptic imagery. I quite love the incipient forest on the roof and the general rusty Ford Pinto ambiance of the surrounding architecture. Actually much more interesting and culturally and architecturally significant than yet another block of solidly built but boringly generic six floor Haussmannia.

That sign is indeed intriguing. I presume the number leads to a religious sect.

One of the art galleries on the Champs Elysées has a real, used fighter jet for sale. Frankly, it is super cheap considering the price of a new one. Sorry, it is not available for export, but the price includes free delivery anywhere in France.
