Re: Today in pictures

Some more statues - very touristy - plus some cloud pics from earlier today. The first four are in Florence, the next three in France, the last three at home.

1 Cosimo de Medici I on horseback
2 The Neptune fountain, the Marzocco lion symbol of Florence and Cosimo in the background
3 Perseus with the head of Medusa
4 Il Porcellino bronze boar fountain in the market - it's supposed to be lucky - if you touch its snout you will return to Florence
5 Not a statue but a monument, Cross of Lorraine - to Charles de Gaulle at his home village of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises
6 The Alsace - Lorraine monument at the Clearing of the Armistice, Forest of Compiegne. A very moving site
7 Marshal Foch statue, at the same site Glade of the Armistice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
8 - 10 The sky this morning in Morecambe

Sorry - cockup on the uploading front - the Neptune pic is no 10...
