Ooooh. A Car Park !

 

For a "Tedious Tuesday" slide, there's possibly a few things of interest here.

But...still dull.

Shining Out Like A Shaft of Gold

 

Technically, this a Bad Photograph. Too much contrast between light and shade, meaning that most of the family appear as dark shadows on a dark background.  

BUT I LIKE IT.  The photographer captured the exact moment that Millicent react to the gopher scurried 
up he leg. She chose the wrong day to "Go Commando".

Bonus - Pope Donny?
