At the Louvre

Another long walk today. At the Louvre. And later I experimented a bit with the 500D outside, at the garden of Tuileries. Some photos made me want to lick them, but I showed strong character. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until Nikos decides to send me the photos before I'm able to post them here and have our eyes see something better.

Anyway, buy the book and let people know of it, because it's a time of strong need (in a good way, though)! More details in the next days. For now, behold some photos of art pieces from one of the most famous museums of the world.

Some battle. One of the numerous battles in the paintings. Why so many battles?

Yes, the history of humanity is filled with battles and there are battles everywhere, all the time. Why the fuck do they have to fight all the time?

By the way, this is what people take when some safe assholes send them to battle.

Death. How honorable.

King Leonidas at Thermopylae. Apparently he wasn't a real king, otherwise he wouldn't be under the cloud of the arrows.

Maybe being a king those days didn't have today's definition which is "rich useless piece of human garbage, sitting somewhere while people get disemboweled for him". There were others that were superiors, apparently. Or maybe in Sparta they were deeply insane and had no problem to go and die, because why not.

At least in Egypt they were peaceful. Not with slaves and not all the time and oh, well, they weren't peaceful anywhere. In all the ancient world they were killing each other like crazy. How did humanity even survive to reach the current era? Besides war, there have been some freak epidemics from time to time.

Why can't we just give a high-five like these guys in the picture do? Preferably without the handcuffs in the other hands.
