Sincere Apologies To Everyone
Over the past few months I have posted funny pictures and jokes to
friends who I thought shared the same sense of humour. Unfortunately this
wasn't the case and I seem to have upset quite a few people who have
accused me of being sexist and shallow. If you were one of these people,
please accept my humblest apologies.
From now on I will only post pictures with a cultural or educational
content such as old monuments, nature and other interesting structures.
Below is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris.
P.S. For those of you who are interested, Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge
in Paris and took 26 years to build. Construction began in 1578 and ended
in 1604. "Le Pont Neuf" is actually made of 2 independent
bridges, one with seven arches and the other with five arches. Henri IVs
statue is located on the right of the bridge. It was the first equestrian
statue erected in Paris and also the first statue that was free-standing
i.e. not attached to a building. Like other royal statues, it was melted
down during the revolution. It was replaced with an identical copy in
1818.
