TdF photos Part II (Verbier, Switzerland)

Part II from photos from TdF 2009
This is the entrance of the hotel. "Welcome." How nice!


Just a short walk away from the hotel, there was a helicopter (model converted from a real one, I guess).


As you can see, 500 meters from the finish. The police officers are not concerned with the woman who is painting on the road. Usually in Switzerland, painting on the road is forbidden.


Looking up from the place where I took the picture above, I can see the devoted fans of Amets Txurruka displaying their banner proudly.


About 1km from the finish, there was this display on the wall of the tight corner. Entertaining! If you take a close look at it, you can amuse yourself even more.


Oops! There goes a crash! Ouch!

There is a chicken crossing the road. The man seems to be very annoyed but why?


What is this? Is this part of the display or someone added it later? A syringe is sticking out of his leg.


Steve Schleck came by on his bike.

I am online now so will start updating

I admit I have been lazy. I am online now. I decided to pay to have internet access at home. I can stay online as long as I want.

So it it time to start updating this blog as frequently as possible. I will start posting photos that I made during this (almost past) season.

Looking at the photos I took, I deeply think that I need a better camera, like Cannon Eos 450 or Nikon D90 or something. My photos are sh*t. I will buy a better camera within my budget.

To start with, I will start posting pictures from Tour de France 2009. Here are some.

Verbier, Switzerland
Verbier, I was there.


Just a local view.


This is the hotel where Team Saxobank guys were staying.


At the foot of those flags (Luxemboug / Schleck fan club), there was Steve, the elder brother of the Schleck clans.


Here is someone that I don't particularly like but ...
