Waiting

Random thoughts objectifying passersby that popped into my perverted mind while waiting for the flight home yesterday…

A blonde in a wrap dress just walked by, the way her breasts are moving I seriously doubt she’s wearing a bra

There a 40-something mom and her late teen or early twenties daughter sitting nearby. The relationship is obvious, both are very nice to look at. I wonder if daughter has any clue about mom’s sex life. Mom made me think of @btrlatethannever

Are the couple who just walked by swingers?

Young woman late for a flight just ran by, large breasts bouncing with each stride. I immediately thought of fucking her and how her tits would move with each stroke.

Wow, blonde who just walked by has a great smile.

30-something platinum blonde, I wonder if she likes it in the ass

Mom with 2 tweens, when was the last time she swallowed a mouthful of cum?

Petite brunette, short dress and great muscular legs. Oh, and look at the hooker heels! I bet she’s kinky

Happy Friday! I’ll be enjoying a day off today :-)

One hell of a big tire!

Seriously, can you imagine the size of the truck that uses a tire that big?

Arc de Triomphe

Yes, I’m finally continuing with my photos from Paris!
[Photos from Schlossplatz Germany are here and Paris Day 1 photos are here.]

Friday morning I awoke early and went for a run, iPhone in hand. My goal was to run along Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe and back. If the distance wasn’t too bad and I was feeling okay I thought about continuing to the Louvre, but my feet disagreed. I did make it to the Louvre, both Friday night and Saturday morning, and I’ll get to those photos next.

Fortunately it was about 6:30am when I got there, I couldn’t imagine trying to cross the traffic circle that surrounds the Arc at other times of the day. This photo was taken from the east side, I walked around to the west side then timed it to sprint across the road so I could look up close.

Taken with my iPhone

I had no idea the the French Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is at the base of the Arc de Triomphe! Quite the contrast to the American Tomb of the Unknowns, which is part of Arlington National Cemetery and guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year [DB and I visited there almost 2 years ago.]

Taken with my iPhone

I took a bunch of photos of the detail around the Arc but in the early morning light and just having my iPhone, sadly they didn’t come out well at all and I didn’t make it back there with my DSLR before I left the next day. Before I continued my run I had to get back across the traffic circle! I also wanted another shot of the Arc so I crossed to the center island of Champs Elysees. It took almost 5 minutes of waiting and timing the traffic, but it was worth the effort to get there!

Postscript: I later learned that there is a pedestrian tunnel under the traffic circle leading to the Arc. I should have figured out that there had to be a better way to get there, it is a tourist destination after all…

STS-8

 Tagged with: , ,
Jul 082011
 

I knew that the space shuttle program was nearing an end, though when I woke up and first heard the news I hadn’t realized that the final mission, of the Atlantis, was scheduled to launch today.  Remember when shuttle launches were a big deal? Now, it’s hardly news when one goes up.

Way back in August of 1983 when I was all of 13 years old I had the chance to see a shuttle launch live and in-person, from inside the fence line of the Kennedy Space Center.  My dad had a co-worker whose son-in-law (I think that’s what the connection was) worked there and he made the arrangements for us to get on the space center property for the launch. Dad worked for Pan Am at the time and we could fly for free, so it was an easy little trip to end the summer.

STS-8 was the 3rd flight of the space shuttle Challenger and was most notable for carrying the first African-American into space.

For me, the most notable part was that is was the first night launch of a space shuttle.

I don’t recall how far we actually were from the launch pad, but I do remember that we were probably several miles away and that even with all of the lights on, we could barely see it.

Until the rockets were lit, then it was like someone flipped a switch and turned on the sun!

Many people remember where they were when the Challenger exploded during takeoff or when the Columbia was destroyed during re-entry. An older generation remembers where they were when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon (I was a baby in my mothers belly in the summer of ’69).

My best memory of the space program is watching that ship blast off into the night, the light fading as it rose into the heavens…

Paris, Day 1

I’ve been back for over 2 weeks, it’s about time I got around to posting these photos! There will be at least 2 more sets to follow this one.  As always, click on any photo to view full-sized in a new window and then click to zoom to full 1500×900 pixel resolution.

The view from my room at the Hotel de Castiglione, just 2 blocks from Av des Champs Elysees.

I started my adventure by wandering to Av des Champs Elysees and saw a big gold-domed building off in the distance that caught my interest, so I started heading that way. On the way there I passed Le Grand Palais and took a few photos. I was continually amazed at the artistry and detail on the exterior of so many of the buildings.

I was walking down Av Winston Churchill which becomes Av du Marechal Gallieni as it crosses the Siene River. At each side of the bridge on each side of the road is a tall stone column, each topped by a beautiful gold scuplture

While crossing the bridge I also noticed the Eiffel Tower!  Sadly this is the closest I got, I guess I’ll just have to go back there someday.

Now I was getting closer to the gold-domed building that originally caught my attention. It turned out to be the Hotel National des Invalides and Napolean is buried directly underneath the doom. The following 3 photos are all from there.

Another view of Le Grand Palais on the way back toward my hotel

I took a slightly different route back to my hotel and passed thru the Pl de la Concorde. The dominant feature is this Egyptian obelisk, which dates from the reign of Ramses II and once marked the entrance to the Luxor Temple.  It was given to the French in the nineteenth century, so it was taken apart stone-by-stone, moved to France, and reassembled.  Pretty cool, huh?

That’s all for now.  I still have photos from the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Musee de Louvre and other assorted sights.  Oh, and on Friday night of that week I had a personal tour guide in the form of a reader of Veronica’s blog who took mercy on my lack of language skills and offered to help me out :-)

Schlossplatz, Germany

I’m FINALLY getting around to posting photos from my trip to Germany and France 2 weeks ago.

On my third day in Stuttgart I wrote “Tonight is really should get over it and hop on that train, camera in hand, and go somewhere, anywhere, in the city”.  Well that’s exactly what I did, I figured out the train and went to an area of the city called Schlossplatz. Here are some of my photos from the day.  Later this week I’ll start posting photos from Paris, I took a lot more there.

[Click on any photo to view larger image in a new window and to zoom to full-size]

The view from the train station exit

 

No idea why there was a deer statue up there!

 

Just a random fountain in the plaza

 

Some dude, the statue dates from the 1830s

 

Another view of the statue in the first photo

 

Wow, I took a lot of statue photos! Of course there are a lot of statues to take photos of.

One hand firmly wrapped around the shaft
The other sliding back and forth over the glans
I hit “record” to capture the 2-handed technique I was telling her about
And capture a still to share for my first HNT in months

Visit Osbasso to see who else is getting half-nekkid this week.

And please, comment if you’d like to see me playing again.  Playing HNT that is :-)

Day 171 – Honk

What? I’m doing what this message said I should do :-)

I was walking back to my hotel after dinner at a nearby sports bar when I saw this and just couldn’t resist taking a picture. It also fits right in with this weeks theme at the Digital Photography School website, which is to only take photos within a 10 minute walk from your door.  The door in this case is my hotel room door.

I wonder if there’s some underlying reason why they wrote that message on the car?

Yes, I’m in another hotel, on another trip. I arrived home around 5pm Saturday from my week overseas and barely 20 hours later I was heading out the door again. As I told a friend on Twitter, at least this trip is only 4 nights and I’m in the same time zone as my family, so it should go fairly quickly.  Looking on the bright side, I’ll have some time to work on editing photos from Paris and Stuttgart for sharing online.

Day 170 – Ouchie

Thursday evening, I walked from the vicinity of the US Embassy (where my hotel was) in Paris to the Hotel de Invalides (where Napolean’s tomb is located)

Friday morning I went for a run from my hotel to the Arc de Triomphe and back

Friday night I walked to Notre Dame Cathedral and around some other neighborhoods.  Oh, and I had a new blogger friend who lives in Paris to serve as my tour guide for the evening :-)

Saturday morning I walked to Musee du Louvre aka the Louvre Museum

It’s was fantastic to have enough downtime in order to do all of that exploring (and take tons of photos, after I sort through them all I’ll be posting a bunch in the coming days)

Unfortunately my foot paid the price…
