Even the most common everyday street scene in Buenos Aires, that captures the essence of the place..still isn't boring...I will have to take the camera out and see how boring we can get. But it was fun looking at the photos

Gee, I really like street scenes like these! I like to capture some street signs, too.

When she was younger, my daughter took one in Germany that she thought was hysterical. "Einfarht." I explained to her that it didn't mean what she thought it meant but she still thought it was funny.

Thanks Robs for bringing this obscure site to our attention. But I did not find it boring. Your shot of Rue de la Huchette brought back memories (the Cave is just on the left), as did the pictures from the Ukraine. I bookmarked the boring site.

Wow, cool site! I love the Google maps overlays. I'll definitely have to post some pics in the near future.

Thanks Robespierre!

Wow~! That's a lot to read in one breath! Gotta be the most creative topic I've seen in awhile.

I do capture lots of these kind of pictures as I travel. I just love to snap at random things, like a flower at the pond, maybe a street somewhere in Geneva, a Pizza restaurant in Venice... Gotta dig for it first though. Will post soon.

It is clearly a recent site, and I must brag that one of my photos is the current record holder for the most comments.

I was going to title it simply "Help!" but I thought that might be a little vague

In case anyone missed it, I just have to draw your attention to the second Italy pic on this fine website. It should be the cover page: Bored Dogs (in Palermo).

Thanks Robespierre, this is a find!
