What a shame you couldn't add a sound file of a flushing loo!
Good use of a don't-know-what-to-use-this-for photograph, I like the
addition of the crown on the building on the right to complement the throne
room.

And a good thing too, because I think the color of the grass is the
most uplifting and tastefully chosen I've ever seen... for those in
midwinter :-)

Ain't it amazing what you can find on the internet? And what people do for
hobbies? As for your entry, it wouldn't win anyway. Yes, it does have the
tacky and cheesy elements that you were going for but it's far too well
executed technically to raise an eyebrow in this group.

Does make you wonder, doesn't it? Someone else might have taken the same
photo and made a Bondage Salon out of it.

I'm afraid to ask what a Bondage Salon is.... I must be too young to know
yet.

Is that a game, like Clue?

Not having set foot in one, I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's
games they're playing in there.

Thanks to all for the comments on my entry ;-)! Sorry it took so long to
reply. Jeanne's going to take me with her to Norway and Russia, so I thought
I'd better start getting ready for the trip. (uh huh.. I wish! Seriously, I
don't have a good excuse, just haven't been on the computer as much. On
second thought, I don't know if I'd dare to travel with Jeanne - she'd
probably want to tour all kinds of Bondage Salons hehehe!). Note to Joelle -
that crown on the building was actually hanging there in real life.

I'm so pleased that you are able to accompany us on our trip but you do
remember that important stipulation, don't you? The one about fitting into
my suitcase along with some clothes and other necessaries? I will try to
stay away from the seamier attractions but no promises.
