This is one of my unintentionally amusing photos that I took.
LaFemmeNueVersailles.pngWhat's so amusing about a giant statue of a nude woman towering over the Palace at Versailles?

It's actually only about a foot tall.

The second photo is from Sneak Peek!: Contemporary Art Lands in the Palace of Versailles (7 pics).  There was an exhibition of the modern sculptures of Xavier Veilhan.

HeavyMetalKaraoke.pngWalked by this pub in Oxford, England.  Unfortunately, it was Saturday or I would have gone in to watch "Heavy Metal Karaoke" night.  I wonder if there's a lot of smashing of air guitars.

Street Dancers in Paris

We saw these street dancers in Paris on the the Champs-Élysées near the Arc de Triomphe.  We were walking around and caught the tail end of a performance from the back of a crowd and decided to wait around for their next performance.

The dancers saw that I was shooting video with my iPhone 3GS and definitely played it up for the camera.  It's four dancers, each with their own unique style.  It was a great performance.

The video, especially the sound is pretty amazing for being shot on a cell phone!

One thing about taking a vacation is that there's always a pile of work waiting for you when you return.  Makes it a little difficult to get back on schedule.

I took a ton of pictures while in London and Paris and I'll be posting them over the next couple of days.  I was a little rushed to to get to the airport and left the two cameras I was planning to bring at my office.  I ended up using a slightly older digital camera that I borrowed from my sister who dropped me off at the airport and my trusty iPhone 3GS.

First picture up, a walk button to press when crossing the street in Paris.  I love that the guy has a cane!

Saw this building Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge, TN.  Not content to have just an upside down building, they're building a replica of the Titanic next door.
