One of my favorite bands, The Alan Parsons Project, did an album inspired by Gaudi's life, called, well, "Gaudi." It includes a song called "La Sagrada Familia." There was a musical as well, but I don't think it ever performed in the States. I have a German import CD of it. Because of this music, it's now one of my ambitions to make it to Barcelona someday and see Gaudi's architecture.

Thank you for the link. Gorgeous pictures!

Well, I can definitely tell it's not an American commercial. If it were, it would have a little disclaimer at the bottom saying, "Trained stuntsperson. Do not attempt."

Thank you for that link! I now have a lovely old hand-tinted photo of a Tyrolean castle as my desktop wallpaper.

Aww, sweet Nora! She's definitely enjoying herself.

Hee! That picture was taken in a cruise ship stateroom, probably a Carnival ship (though other lines do it too). They do that with the bath towels. On our honeymoon, we would come back from dinner and find an elephant, a dog, or the monkey seen above. They sold books in the gift shop explaining how to make the animals.

I smell urban legend.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing!

Oh, I love Bizarro!

My submische:

"We never talk anymore."

Well, it's certainly aesthetically pleasing.

It reminds me of my bookstore days, when we used to have the joke about the customer who'd come in wanting a book, but not knowing the author, title or subject...but it had a blue cover.
