Challenge 705: Tooquilos in Paris
Yesterday was Anna's birthday, and since she was already in London we celebrated it by taking her to Paris for the day. I even persuaded her to do a Segway tour around the Eiffel tower.

Here she is in training, after having stepped on the Segway for the first time. Can you move her to a more photo-friendly location?

High res is here.

Happy Birthday Anna!



Smoothed the loop-jump a bit using Steve's 30-70% trick, but hey, it's only a gif.

No Anna, you can't get home that way.

Anna tries out her new toy at home.

Lwc has rather beaten me to this idea. But I didn't see his until I came to post myself ........... so posting anyway.

David - the worm doesn't taste all that good... after all there are only so many things that can be done with a Segway.

That's cool Michael! I like it... made me smile!

I got up too early and had nothing better to do than experiment... NOT AN ENTRY!

After visiting Steve's house Anna was covetous of his Turkish Lamp. There was nothing for it - she just had to Segway across Europe to Istanbul to find her own lamp ...

Although I must confess to being puzzled as why you have migrated the Eiffel Tower to OZ, along, it would seem, with the Shard and the Gherkin? Don't know what the others might be ........... although the one on the right looks distinctive enough that I should perhaps recognise it.

Thanks David. I was playing it for laughs this week.

What sharp eyes you have! This was just something I had stored in my gallery. I didn't notice it was a London skyline. The scene was supposed to be near Paris, as suggested in the title: "..you should see my front lawn back in Oz!”

Duh! Of course. I misinterpreted it as being back in OZ.

Me too. I saw them being thrown into the sea by the Greasers at Folkestone during the Bank Holidays during the early 70´s
