Rainbow
This was actually a double-rainbow, but you can't really see it on this shot.
Oil pumps
The one thing that still freaks me out about LA is that you will find random scattered oil pumps in various strange places. This one is in a McD's parking lot in Signal Hill. Go figure.

Smoking kills
Check out the warnings on these cigs. There is also one that says: "Smoking causes a long and painful death." Ahh, truth in advertising.
Continental Drift
This lake near Den Haag HS is actually the roof of a massive parking garage -- the little concrete chunk that is drifting away is continental drift... The dutch are weird -- I like them!
Hummel Hummel
Hummel Hummel is a famour character in Hamburg. The city decided to let a bunch of artists decorate these statues all over the city center. Cool idea, but most of the suck -- they are hideous. Except this orange one with
big feet.
Stroopwafels
Read: Keep your drippy stroopwafels away from our clothes. (There is a fresh stroopwafel stand three doors down)

Lego Store
This is inside the Lego store -- here you can pick a crapload of the exact piece you need. No more wishing to have an infinite supply of one piece!
ICE3 Cockpit
The ICE3 cockpit is behind clear glass doors and is remarkably simple. You'd figure that with such and advanced train there would be dozen of control panels and whatnot. This train has fewer controls than out local subway. Trippy.
Heren Gracht
A sunset shot of Herengracht as seen from Gasthuismolensteeg/Harten Straat. Notice the moon and the nice water reflection.
Belgium cafe mishap
A shot from inside the Beglian beer bar. Outside is a plant, a walkway, and a bike up against a large poster of an autum forest scene. Look, there is the ring!
