Oh thank you Janine. In addition to what Claes suggested, there might be a password retrieval system at photobucket as well. When you go to log in, there should be a "- Forgot username or password? Click here! -" link for you. Check it out! :) :)Quote:

Great photos as usual Claes. I particularly like the gargoyles. Modern art and architecture is so steril compared to previous.
nice shot,Chava from a nice angle. It really looks like a dragon.
Cales:yours are always exceptional. The first and the last are my favorites.
here's the two towers in Malaysia by my cell cam:

ClaesGefvenberg,
great photos of Paris! Ah, I should start travelling. There is so much beauty to experience.
Claes -- I really liked the views fron Notre Dame, there is something scary in these pictures.
Miss T -- The legs one is a very good shot :nod:
Miss T, all three of yours are excellent. Something very interesting and different about the one with the legs.
Yes, but I have to admire the French in that respect: They have no qualms about mixing new and old architecture, and they usually do it well.Quote:

How about these, from the catacombes, then?Quote:

I love everyone's pictures.
Claes, the catacombs are great...where are they at?? In Paris?
No Tut mummy, which I can't exactly blame them for not putting on exhibit (guess my hopes were up) there were pictures and short clips on Tut though. I enjoyed it quite a bit. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the exhibit, all that gold and stuff. There are plenty of beautiful pieces to see though...not a waste at all.Quote:

The gargoyles in in Claes' Notre Dame pictures reminded me of the gargoyles on my campus. I thought I'd post one of the guys who stares at me while I'm in the library.

Here's a few others I took. A stone rose over the English Dept. doorway:

Decoration on the side of the English building (which I think used to be Archeology, hence the allusion to digging):

The outside of the department grad. student lounge, which is inside the top of the tower (yes we have jokes about ivory tower academics :p ):

Oh, they remind me of some old films wherein Louis de Funès (a famous french actor)played the lead.Quote:

@Miss T: Excellent shots.
Those pictures of catacombs makes me crave honey. I may just be the sickest person in the world
A month long tour of Paris, you are a lucky guy Claes. I wish I could see Paris.
I was reading about Catacombs, and it says one can easily get lost in those tunnels, if without a guide, and I was thinking what will I do if I get lost. I will make friends with the ghosts :D
I've posted this drawing before, I just love it. It's my sister's little daughter's drawing:

I know I am, in several ways. The extended stay became possible thanks to some extensive planning, resulting in relatively cheap accomodation (we rented a small studio) and travel.Quote:

Now, you sound like Virgil. :lol: He is a 45 year old youngster :lol:
Yep. We are just a couple of overaged youngsters.... I think we forgot to grow up, and I'm told the memory is prone to deteriorating even further with age... I may forget it altogether :pQuote:

What a flood of memories, you've brought back! The most distinctive thing about that library to me is that weird spiral ramp outside in the front (which is now inside). I've always felt that it was kind of spooky for some reason. *Sigh*... "backpacking" in the park behind the library in 4th grade, those books that I used to check out over and over (about jets, sports cars, and the Peanuts), that little half-level where they used to play cartoons for kids on a big TV, the gross little break room with vending machines (now there is a hip coffee stand) ... (see my sig)Quote:

I didn't take this pic, my sister did (her puppy she got in November).
He is just too cute not to share it though. His name is Rudy and he is half Chihuahua and half Border Collie.

He's adorable!!Quote:

What an adorable dog--and a really cute picture of him.
No, I'm very certain even a small border collie is bigger than a chihuahua.Quote:

I know they don't poop them out, but I saw you use the word quite a lot in a thread somewhere, so I used it too. :p

Poetess,
Those pictures just look like some ordinary country side in the United States - man, how looks can be deceptive.

Lol, you got me miss T. :p Sooo cute!!! I love puppies.
This is another of Rudy. It looks all blue in the background because I had to cut my sister out of it. She wouldn't like it at all if she thought I was putting her picture online.

And I know I have posted this before, but this is my big overgrown puppy, Dillon. No young dog can drive a car like Dill, their feet wouldn't reach the pedals. :lol:

I didn't mention it earlier but Poetess has posted some nice autumn looking pics and I forgot to thank Petrach's Love for her compliment re: Rudy. :)
