Paris has a number of English-language bookshops. Without wishing to belittle the useful service provided by W. H. Smith's branch in the Rue de Rivoli, much the most interesting is Shakespeare & Co., at 37 Rue de Bucherie, on the Left Bank, dead opposite Notre Dame. Its stock is secondhand. I believe the shop is owned by the family of Walt Whitman. The three books I bought on the day of this photograph, Friday 8th April 1994, were all stamped inside the front cover, "Sylvia Beech Whitman Foundation".
Surprisingly small selection, but the sales girl managed to find exactly what I was looking for from the storage room: a yellow plastic bangle from the 50´s, 5 euros (Albertinkatu 28)
This picture is taken at a second hand store in my hometown. I love this vintage baby stroller.

Praying mantis exoskeleton - this one floated down from a tree I was walking under - my place is starting to look like a Secondhand Clothing store.
My apologies to anyone who is not familiar with the term 'exoskeleton'.
Definition of exoskeleton:
An exoskeleton is what is left after an insect, spider or hermit crab have finished moulting.
This link gives a better understanding of all moulting:
This is a nice bookshop off the main road into Springdale, Utah and Zion National Park. I enjoyed shopping here and both Brian and I bought a couple of books.

It is a pretty simple advertisement, that reminds us all that we should respect our community and respect other people, in regards to smokers and where they choose to smoke.
Visually the cigarette is on an angle and you see the lit end sort of cut off. If you don't see it, it is a cigarette being put out.
It is the alternate version of the "!" anti smoking poster
I also realised when I tried it on that the pockets were on backwards... well not really, another mistake on my behalf, I thought it was a wrap front but turns out it was a wrap back. This will definately be adjusted, way too much risk of a gust of wind leaving me exposed without my knowledge

EXPO Shanghai, October 2010
The Ninbo Tengtou Pavilion is the only village pavilion at the EXPO exhibition.
It is designed by Wang Shu and Lu Wenvy (Amateur Architecture Studio) and is one of the most poetic experience I had at the exhibition and it gave me a lot of hope for chinese architecture in the future.
They were representing China at Venice Biennale this year 2010 with "Decay of a Dome"
Wang Shu is Professor and Head of the Architecture department at China Academy of Art, Hangzhou.
