I love these "windows" that you have captured, and of course especially the monkeys expressions - you have a great eye for this sort of detail. LOL

Great set! Very cool too. Tu sais Mikkal, j'aimerais voir le Musée Egyptian à Torino. Jamais vu! Quelle dommage! C'est dans ma liste des choses à faire/visiter. Est-ce que tu l'as vu? J'ai visité le musée archeologique à Firenze et surtout le musée en Danemark. J'adore ça.
