Samsung Galaxy S's PicturesYou Are Here (Samsung Galaxy S)
In a rather boring weekend, here's a rather strange snap to add to my stupid signs collection, I'm sure there was a reason fo this sign and perhaps that reason is no longer valid but it appears quite useless now. To be honest this sign in Botany bay is definitely correct but despite being correct it leaves you with nothing more than you turned up to the sign with. I suppose it could have been more cryptic and just as useless if it said “Pigs Oink” or “Water is wet”. To be honest I think I would have preferred it to say “You are not here” so I could watch the confused faces and perhaps the odd person who tried to make sense of the statement stroking their beard.
Of course it could be a reference to The Prisoner what with the Penny-Farthing but I think I'm taking it far too seriously here and I don't even have a beard, believe me I have tried growing one, I looked a mess, I looked like a tramp and that's really an offence to tramps.

Into Milano (Samsung Galaxy S)
It's not all fun fun fun as a Zamyatinite, sometimes we have to fly to nice places and run between transfers and drive for ages to get to where we are going and then have a four hour meeting. Still a view of the Alps is a bonus when you're flying from Zurich to Milan readying yourself for the airport and a drive to Lugano.
Despite what I said about HDR, this just looks good and since the camera on the Samsung is so bad into the sun I think I needed it.

Duck Crem (Samsung Galaxy S)
A bit of a test today, first is the test of a walk around where we might end up living (though recent happenings may say different) and a first because it's my first HDR picture which personally I'm not sure I approve of on a photo site. To be honest if I were to do that with every one of my pics, then I may as well photoshop everything and end up with an immaculate airbrushed collection. It sort of kills the element of skill and sometimes the occasional unconventional shot just works, but then again if you're here then you don't need me to say that.
Needless to say there was nothing much happening last weekend and so all I took was my phone, you never know next weekend might be different but then again I wouldn't bet on it.

Sacre Coeur (Samsung Galaxy S)
A full day walking today and not juston the flat. The Sacre Coeur is quite high in fact it is overone third the way up the Blackpool Tower copy and is higher than the Arc de Triomph is tall so there's a bit of a climb and moat of that is saved tk the very end. Despite this we all made the trip and got there jn one piece it had impreasive views whixh would have been better on a clearer day. Don't get me wrong you could see for miles but as usual the sky wasn't completely clear so there was a haze that make taking photos challenging. Still the church was impressive but since there were services on for Christmas it was packed and I did feel like we were intruding, still a good dag out nonetheless. So you can guess where this picture is from.
Santa was back out with his Police escort around the streets of Paris and all that leaves tonight for is a slap up meal as the Beano or Dandy would describe it. It doesn't realy feel like Chriatmas mainly because so much is open and there are so many people about. Back home most people will be in their houses putting up with another repeat of Only Fools and Horses.

All I Want for Christmas is Yule (Samsung Galaxy S)
It's been tiring. Flying to Paris then spending the ssme amount on the taxi to the hotel as it cost to fly one person to Paris, then a hike down the Champs-Élysées.... It's a hard life. The only problem that may face us is whether anything will be open tomorrow but that worry can be left for tomorrow.
We saw Santa twice, once with his sleigh coasting between two masts and then later on having a Police escort which was a bit if a surprise. However back to the pic, here's a sight we saw on the way to tea at a Chinese Restaurant. I must admit I would love to put a compilation of graffiti together but I just never see it so I was so impressed thag I had caught this one.
