At the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Sunday at Longchamp, this Scottish lad was being a "cheeky monkey," as the Brits say: pulling up his kilt for the photo. In the photo below, he and his mates are laughing like naughty children after the stunt.
Today I'm off for some laughs of my own - a few days of rest and relaxation in Barcelona! Tierra de calma. I intend to do very little other than see friends, indulge in a little Fino and tapas and wander around the city with my camera.
Will catch up with you next week, just in time for the Blog Action Day on Poverty. Won't you join us? Read all about it here.
What a charming, humorous photos! You are truly a gifted photographer. There is really something special about capturing humor and whimsy as well as the serious. Thanks for the smile today and I hope you are having a fabulous trip!
