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

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.

My turn again (been tormenting the scanner) Some old stuff from 1993 - A month in Paris:
Arc de Triomphe.
View from Arc de Triomphe.
Champs Élysées from Arc de Triomphe.
Veiw from Arc de Triomphe de la Défence.
The helipad on Arc de Triomphe de la Défence.
Arc de Triomphe de la Défence.
Gargoyle at Notre Dame.
Another shot from Notre Dame.

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.
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![]()
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.
