Thanksgiving truck

Spotted on the side of a highway in Texas, this truck full of pumpkins looked very countryish and even cozy, I'd say.

Connecticut Capitol Building

 Located in Hartford, the capital city of Connecticut, it was built in 1878 in a predominantly neo-Gothic style of the Victorian epoch (Eastlake).

Faces of Disneyworld

Disneyworld is such a place where you can see incredible scenes everywhere. Like this guy with Yoda on his back. Imagine, if he came to an office with is?! But here's the Magic Kingdom, a place where you can be yourself.

Monaco at night

This is an entrance to the "Moods" night club.

Where's the gondolier?

Notice the 'Made in Italy' on the gondolier's hat. Things are still made in other countries than China, hooray! :-)

Colorful zebra

Who said the world is just black and white? There are other colors too! :-)

St. Nicholas Cathedral, Monaco (Cathédrale de Monaco)

Pont du Gard

Pont du Gard is a true gem of Provance. This 2,000 year old ancient Roman aqueduct crosses the Gard River and is located in Southern France, not far from Avignon or Nimes.

Amsterdam cat

This Amsterdam resident has long ago learned to philosophically ignore the curious by-passers.

Speeding up in New York

Yet another car theme today.

New York is such a city where it is impossible to just slowly stroll around. At least, I can't, nor can anyone I know, and, I suspect, neither can the New Yorkers. I'm sure, there are some rare exceptions that only support the rule.

Each time I visit New York, I feel and see this crazy whirlpool: everyone hurries somewhere, not noticing anything and anyone on their way. Even the tourists, after a day or two, get "infected" with this wild speed and run, run, run... In this city one can't be slow - its atmosphere is pushing him up in his back.

Get around your own way!

Enjoy this funny scene in Paris, where parking space is so much in demand, and so scarce, that even tiny "toy" cars can't always fit into an opening.

Orchids

Just been experimenting with special effects. The results are pretty interesting. :-)

Wooden cart in Gruyères, Switzerland

I just loved this little cart I spotted in Gruyères a while ago.
