Great shot of the carriage and sign Dusty! The timing is perfect. Your daughter has a great eye for spotting the cloud/volcano scene!
Sury- I'm glad you explained that it is a cricket pitch, I thought it was for landing model planes or something!

Dannelle and I took a much needed vacation to New Orleans a bit ago, and I saw this fellow chatting with the lady as we were about to eat lunch...I actually saw many people that had spray-painted themselves, and their clothes silver and would stand perfectly still for long periods. I guess you can make some decent money that way! I don't see how they could stand the 36° C temperatures and what seemed to be 200% humidity with all that paint on their faces and arms. I was dying in just shorts and a shirt!

You don't see those "live" statues having a conversation very often. Nice capture.
As for their suffering in that heat and humidity, well, "the things we do for a living",
is not just an expression for them, it is literal for them.

With best regards,

Yep. I agree. It is not something you see everyday. :) Someone who is big, big, big has a big, big, big bathtub
to play with that big, big, big duckie. :lol:

Hahaha :lol:

I've seen some rubber duckies in my lifetime, but never King Kong size ones!

Are you sure that wasn't part of a scene from Cloverfield? :lol:
