    Part of a fence decoration in Montpellier that i found astounding, it's taken from below, so that it looks like a dragon.

    I want to post some photos, but I can't recall my passwork in "Photobucket", nor it seems my domain name. I thought I wrote it down and now I can't find it. What now? Mad at myself for being so thoughless.
    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!

    *edit* That is a very gothic looking fence, Chava. Nice.

    Great photos as usual Claes. I particularly like the gargoyles. Modern art and architecture is so steril compared to previous.

    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
    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    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.

    miss tenderness: Great shots, particularly the legs in the rain.

    How about these, from the catacombes, then?


    We went there a rainy day. Somehow the weather mattered little down there in the eerie quiet world some 30m below street level...


    And another one from the same place.

    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.

    It was very enjoyable. Have fun Janine.

    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 ):



    Another tower on campus:

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

    Great pictures, Claes. I wouldn't have minded not looking at the skulls though. Just my personal opinion but I'm a bit touchy where dead people are concerned.

    @Miss T: Excellent shots.
