In the Musee d’Orsay in Paris, there are lots of Van Gogh paintings. What was surprising to me, though, was how close you could get to them to be able to see all the details of the impasto in his paintings. Their abstraction, when viewed up close, was often just as interesting as the painting itself. That’s why I took a bunch of such pics and put them into a TikTok video.
France
Inside the Vatican and St Chapelle
Europe has many breath-taking cathedrals. Quite many, in fact! Each time I was in one while I was in Europe, I said a lot of prayers. Most of the time I was in them, I just enjoyed the experience without my smart phones. However, the occasional time I was in them, I took a minute to pull out the phone and did a panoramic capture of the space just by rotating around. Here are the two I did, the Vatican inside of Rome, and St. Chapelle in Paris.
Descending the Stairs of Sacre-Coeur in Paris
Sacre-Coeur is a glorious church in Paris. Inside are two very tight spiral stairways, of which I have captured the one used to go down after knowing what to expect in having gone up. It would be boring to watch me go down at regular speed, though, so I sped it up and accompanied it with what I deemed to be a dizzying piece of music at breakneck speed to it, The Flight of the Bumblebee, by Rimsky-Korsakov.
The view at the top was breath-taking, by the way. I would highly recommended. However, I didn’t capture any footage because I was having a personal visit with God, and They don’t like it when They don’t have your full attention. 😉
Thanks for the time and advice, God. I hope you’ll keep your promise on all those prayers I gave You! 😉
Facebook Friends Diversity Tagging Challenge
How diverse are your friends in terms of geographical origin, and culture with a lot of that? How does that compare to your friends’ friend diversity.
Find out by tagging your friends on these Facebook friends diversity tagging challenges.
- The first one is of Asian countries.
- The second is of European countries by flags.
- The third is of European countries by coat of arms, for the smarty pants.
- The fourth is for Canadians counting friends from various provinces and territories.
- The fifth is for Canadians counting friends living in various provinces and territories.
Ideally, I know I’d have memes with more than just “regional” representation for diversity, but it’s hard to tag and make out over 150 countries on a meme, you know. It’s also hard to make one for the 50 US states. Other regions, meanwhile, just don’t have enough. But you can probably count on the fact that you probably have lots of friends either like you and/or like each other so in a way, these memes are not bad for design. Most Europeans, for example, probably have lots of European friends to really give the meme an honest effort. I have lots of Canadian friends like my fellow Canadian friends to give the meme a good go at filling it all out. Anyway, that’s what I have. I apologize if there isn’t one that suits you.
