Amiens 4

Amiens 4

An old building opposite the cathedral in Amiens, where pilgrims used to stay during their visits to the shrines.

Another "tardis" has got in the way, and I was in two minds whether to crop it out, but then I'd have lost the tower to the left which I thought would be a pity.

Interesting about the Tardis. And I agree that the tower should be kept in the photo as it just looks better with it in. Anyhow - nice job.

Hi Alandra - the tardis is a very British thing! It was the time machine in a long-running children's sci-fi programme called Dr Who, and it looked like an old style police box from the outside. On the inside it was much bigger, and was a very modern space ship that travelled through time as well. Anyway, these grey things scattered about this square in Amiens look very much like the Tardis.

OK Steve, too late though :-). I already did one of LF image. It is a quicky that took about 10 minutes, but not bad. It could be done much nicer with a little time and effort. But you'll get the idea, I'm going to go post it now. Don

Thanks Don! Much appreciated. I know what you mean about the old sailing ship bit. I didn't try cloning because I'm not very good at that sort of thing if I'm not sure what should be "behind" the offending item, if you get my meaning. I'd be very grateful if you would have a go and show me what can be done. But don't waste your efforts on a download of the tlf image: I'll send you the proper file by e-mail!

Neat shot of the old girl. It puts me to mind of an old sailing ship. Very nice work Steve. The Tardis isn't a problem now that we know what they are ;-). But did you try cloning it out? Maybe I'll give it a shot if you don't mind. Don
