Gala Nude Looking at the Sea Which at 18 Metres Appears the President Lincoln – Salvador Dalí

Gala Nude – Salvador Dalí

Hi Folks!

Salvador was a master of illusion and a psychic. With his psychic abilities he was able to bend time and see the future. The painting titled Gala Nude Looking at the Sea Which at 18 Metres Appears the President Lincoln (1975) is a proof of his abilities. The painting depicts Gala’s nude behind. But when the paining is photographed with a digital camera, unfocused photo of the painting depicts president Abraham Lincoln. Quite astonishing considering that there were no digital cameras in the 70’s.

Lyon – France

Hi Folks!

The landmark of Lyon, Metallic tower of Fourvière, is a knockoff of the Eiffel Tower and not the other way around. Metallic tower of Fourvière was built a couple years after the Eiffel Tower was finished. It’s actually an exact copy of the third tier of the Eiffel Tower. So sad. I truly thought that the original design was in Lyon.

Another landmark of Lyon, Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière (Our Lady of Fourvière), overlooks the city next to the miniature version of the Eiffel Tower. The basilica looks quite impressive, but I have to say that the Lyonnais may have some creativity issues. Our Lady of Paris, also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral, is an iconic landmark of Paris. According to Disney’s documentary The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo lives in the Notre-Dame in Paris, which clearly indicates that the Notre-Dame in Paris is superior to the one in Lyon.

In the photo, the building closest to river is Lyon Cathedral. I believe that none of the cathedrals in Paris have been named as Lyon. Finally something original!
