The more mysterious Europe

I was on stumbleupon.com, which takes you to random websites on the internet, and the first site it brought me to was for pictures of Europe. How timely!
(the site is http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2NUFRp/www.golberz.com/2010/03/breathtaking-photos-of-europe.html)

But of all the pictures they show, which are labeled as "breathtaking," I must say none of them look that special except this one, taken at night in the Czech Republic.



Doesn't this one just look more interesting and attractive than, say, this one:




I think the beauty is in the lights, the mystery, the intrigue that the first photo has over the second. I don't want to see a city for its buildings or monuments. I want to see it for its history, its people, its personality. And that, I believe, is what this first photograph eerily displays.

Realization

I just made a discovery while visiting the Skins e4 website (a british tv show and channel). There was an ad for Dove deodorant, but it was spray on.

And I realized: Europeans use spray deodorant! And Americans use stick deodorant! Seriously, how many Americans do you know have spray deodorant?


I thought it was interesting.



sadly, that's all I have to say on my 100th post.
