I found this interesting tromp l' oeil on the side of a furniture auction house. There's a funny story to go with this photo. The building is quite close to a busy street so I pulled into a shopping area across the street and parked the car. I climbed up on to a grassy berm to take the shot and just as I was about to snap the shutter I felt a sting on my ankle. I looked down and found that my feet and sandals were covered with tiny black ants. I went running for the paved parking areas and proceeded to stomp my feet and kick off my sandals. I bet I looked kind of silly dancing around in the parking lot. I got them all off but, not before getting about a dozen bites. Grrrrr
Sharon's Sojourns is featuring one of my favorite cities today, Paris.
A picture which came at a price! But,being not the one who got stung, I would say it was worth it :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, your photo doesn't include any of your discomfort. A crowd stopper for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe have fire ants here and you quickly learn that you can't can't linger too long in one place! Those little suckers really punch a wollop!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo; unique. It is true; we do sometimes go to great lengths to find a good image.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteNice photo, ants and all.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is worth the sacrifice that you endured to take it.
ReplyDeleteOh no that's horrible Sharon, they nip like crazy..not fun! And you still managed to get a great shot, bravo!
ReplyDeleteYou took a pretty nice shot for being all antsy and stuff. Funny story. Well, not really. Those things can really sting and leave me with welts! I do love this tromp mural, though!
ReplyDeleteI love this! What a great find. Those pesky ants are everywhere and who would think something that tiny could give such a painful bite.
ReplyDeleteLots of biting humor in the comments section today.
ReplyDeleteThis is very well done! Worth the bites... :-) Sorry I'm smiling.
ReplyDeleteLove the mural, but feel sorry about your bites. Those little ants can be quite nasty!
ReplyDeletethis is amazing................ thank you for sharing. Peace, Mary Helen
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting photo. What you go through for your viewers!
ReplyDeleteIn Florida, we have to keep an eye out for fire ants. They are very small ants that bite fiercely and rapidly. I wonder if that is what you encountered.
The photo is beautiful Sharon... I hope your bites healed soon.Paris is a beautiful city :))
ReplyDeleteA kiss
