Nice Museum shots, Alan. Looks like a beautiful place.
The harpie is interesting... I like it. Last time I saw a harpie depicted, it was more bird than woman. I like this rendition better.

LOL! That sounds like it's straight from the "Anne of Green Gables" books. It's so something Anne would say.

"Normal" for me, is most certainly not normal for you and vice-versa.

err... RRTP.. I should visit that thread one of these days.

Anne of Green Gables

No bracing necessary, LOL.

She's a young girl with a big imagination, and she 'pretended' lots of things to make them into what made her happy.

just some more interesting things
this was part of the display that hangs from the ceiling in the expressions hall (its full of marble busts)

I thought Hermes had wings on his heels...

Seriously cool place Alan. Like I said earlier, the kids could go to the transport place and I'd hit the museum!

maybe its not hermes then....... some greek dude anyways..
edit:apparently the wings were on his helmet not his ankles... (heres a painting of mercury..... same god in roman mythology)

Apollo is usually depicted with a lyre, as he is the god of music.

you're more than likely correct

i didn't pay much attention to the descriptions..
I just thought it was an awesome bronze

Nice museum pictures, Alan. Makes me want to go to the Getty Museum again. I haven't been there in a while.

I like that old MG from the transport museum. I had an MG Midget for a few years (much newer model car than the one in your picture). That was a fun little car. When it wasn't in the shop...

midgets are awesome little cars.

id much rather have an old style sportscar like a midget or the haldane from the last shot in the latest set than a modern car(tthe haldane is actually a modern replica kit car tho and was only made in 1994) i guess a real one was too expensive

here's a full shot of the MG (1938 model TA)

What does "normal" mean?

There is no measure for this.
If someone really knows, they are wrong.
