Out-Takes From Nancy

Cities always provide the most out-takes, and Nancy was the only city we spent much time in last June; its Musee des Beaux-Arts was a gold mine...

Used to be you'd see these signs all over France, and
Europe; now everybody has a phone, and there's an app
for everything

Among the many antique stores in Nancy, this one particularly good
on Art Nouveau glass; Vicki drooling at the window

Great selections, but probably not many bargains

Outside the Made In France Sandwicherie...

So many choix...

Not all the buildings in Nancy are Art Nouveau

Street cleaning with Le Glutton

Our campground in Nancy...the sign notable for mentioning
the boulodrome

Tinkerbell when the Lost Boys are not around

Vaping was very different in those days

One sees the little "Spectacles" structures all over France,
usually just advertising; this is the first one we've seen made
into a WC

Belly jewelry

Why they hate us

One of the better French murals

The basic 224 types of chairs

Medieval stretching exercise; the personal coach on
the left is saying "keep your back straight and remember
to breathe...1...2...3..."

Really colorful and lurid Judgement

Adoration of the Toes

A convention in Flemish portrait painting was to
paint a fly on a deceased subject; I thought I was 
really on to something until the fly flew away 

Jesus not turning the other cheek with the money lenders

Right in the middle of the museum's 18th century
collection was this, at precisely the corner pictured,
entitled Waiting for Godot

Early depiction of Daenerys Targaryen; before she bleached her hair

Mourning for Fideau

Sic transit, Gloria...if only he'd patented his invention...

The mural is indeed fabulous.
