Montmarte...
The cathedral of Sacre'-Coeur sits atop a hill in the area of Montmarte. This area is where alot of the original Bohemians hung out, but now its just were a lot of wanna-be Bohemians hang out, attempting to convince you that despite your true need for a cold beer after the hike up the hill, you should have them draw a portrait of you. I'm sorry, I am thirsty and I have a camera. I will support the arts in a different manner, such as helping brewmasters with their art of making "happy fluid"!
Anyway, in the spirit of artsy crap, I experimented with black-and-white photography, constrast, pattern, and other artsy/photography-centered stuff, and took some pictures of the stone road. Art...go figure.
The Cemetary...
We went looking for Jim Morrison's grave. It was covered with film crews, actors, gaffers, grips, electricians, best boys, make-up, and caterers. Making a movie (not Bollywood, but we saw that at the Louvre and Arc de Triumphe') and so we were "discouraged from paying our respects". However, I had more fun watching the cats in the cemetary. The one on the right was hunting mice...
We then went to Pigalle, or as it is also known, Pig Alley. Moulen Rouge is the nicest place in the neighborhood! We went during the late afternoon, and you could tell then that this was a wild and crazy place.
Anyway, more photos than I can post.

what? the cats don't eat monkeys?
No SSM... but they do like a hearty burgundy after their supper... and slap each other passionately when they dance to the accordian musical renditions of Tom Waits. Wait... maybe it was the fleas that like to do that.
but the monkeys over there are so easy to catch. they practically line up for it. why, i remember back in 1943...
Mustang -- no apology necessary for your traditions. They are true -- which makes them enjoyable.
And I promise I will never take a bat (or any of my other weapons) to your truck....
--as long as you promise to bring "your telescope"
