Eric this is a great shot. Last year , I took the lead from my French amis and turned back my clock a week early!!! THis year I was more alert. I hate it when we go off DST. So depressing.

hey, that photo didn't load for me yesterday.

Can't wait for DST to end and go back to PST, but it's not for 2 or 3 weeks, I think. One extra hour of sleep, Yessssssssssssssss! (even for one day, it's cause for celebration)

I only meant that it was two hands holding up a photo - tsk tsk on you Michael!

Tsk Tsk ET Suzy!

What's not original about it? I've never seen one like it.

2009-10-26T21:25:42.376+01:00

Now, about the Yankees...

Everyone loves to hate them, but they have a classy bunch of players. Since Roger Clemens has been gone, there have been no sleazeballs on the roster. I love the Yanks. I also love the Phillies. This will be a great World Series, and of course this is completely relevant to PDP, M Coltrane, because one of the two teams will have a hand caught in a tree while being attacked by a lion.

Also, we have the Barye lion and snake sculpture from the Tuileries here in Minneapolis right now.

Bravo Alexa and Eric. This is indeed one candid (or should it be "Candide"?) shot! Alexa, you do amaze with your knowledge. BTW...R U watching the World Series?

So a rendez-vous in Venice has been taking place right beneath our keyboards and we never knew. Hmmmm

2009-10-26T19:08:57.627+01:00

There is no Mr. Alexa, Michael, but I do spend a ridiculous amount of time with my ex. He is not that impressed by the random and mostly useless info floating around the fringes of my consciousness. But when I first saw this I wanted to know who the poor guy was. Ouch. Jeff and I meet up regularly here and at Venice Daily Photo, btw.

Yep, there it is, just Google Milo of Croton. Well done, Alexa! The Wikipedia info is helpful.

No, Michael, never met the girl!

Impressive Alexa! Do you "wow" all the guys with your knowledge? Have I introduced you to Jeff yet? Oops, I think you're married....oh well, we don't have to tell (Mr)Alexa now do we?

2009-10-26T17:51:41.476+01:00

I have a picture of this too—talk about a pain in the butt! This poor fellow being attacked by a lion while his hand is stuck in the tree trunk is Milo of Croton, a famous 6th-c. BC athlete. The sculpture was done in the 1600s by Pierre Puget, a sculptor from Marseille.
Love your interpretation, Eric, and you could never be un-original!

2009-10-26T17:44:13.875+01:00

I think you were in Cour Marly. I can't do the virtual tour because the system at work won't let me download QuickTime. Anyone else...?

2009-10-26T17:28:23.068+01:00

I thought it might be Laocoon, from the Trojan War story, but only if that is a snake attacking them. It looks more one wrestler attacking another, so I'm wondering if it's a Hercules story. More research is necessary.

That is a very interesting photo. Thanks for post...

2009-10-26T17:27:30.736+01:00

That is a very interesting photo. Thanks for posting and reminding me of why I love Paris and miss it terribly (even though it has only been a few days since we left)!
