I just closed my Oceania digipak in a way that the Moon became the front cover

I liked it so much I bent the cover back the other way to see how well the Apollo craft and pyramids worked as covers. Then I put the booklet in a jewel case for the hell of it. The digipak is already looking a bit worn around the corners; I guess that can only be a good sign.

Yes I am sure this deserved a new topic. :happy:/>

I would be more impressed if the alphabetti spaghetti spelled out smashing pumpkins while you cowered in fear in the corner, clutching a crucifix.

What a stupid place to put a giant glass pyramid; you can barely even see the real architectural wonder behind it.

My 3-year-old tore mine up the other day to get to the booklet ("Look daddy, snake!"). My bad for leaving it out I guess. Little weasel.

Yep it was the evening. I wanted to take a pic at night with the pyramid and the moon, but it didn't exactly happened that way. Instead I had a walk in the city in the evening and took a series of pics like this for fun (nearby Notre-Dame and the bridge of arts for instance...). It was typical of the lazy summer evenings: wandering in the city and taking pics! ;)/>

Also I don't want to troll but I guess that what you can see on the picture are actually contrails.

Well I must admit I kind of got used to it. It's even quite beautiful in the evening when the pyramid is lit up. Beaubourg (aka Centre Georges Pompidou) on the contrary never grew on me although its library is a great place to study and its museum has a wonderful collection of modern pieces of art. I know the concept was to put above the building what is usually underneath and I must admit that the stairs provide a feeling of elevation but behind the concept I don't think the colorful pipes are that aesthetic...

I can totally picture you discovering the whole thing: "What the!...(clenching you jaws). Yeah you're right that's a snake. You're doing well. Now give daddy the remains of his booklet. Thank you." and then back in the kitchen where nobody can hear you, yelling a bunch of bad words... :rofl:/>

Haha. I was actually in the other room and he brought me the booklet. I was like, "yeah, you're right!" I took the booklet and put it on the arm of the couch to take back to the case later. So it was awhile later that I took it back and discovered the ripped case. I wasn't raging. You don't have to for stuff like that. At least the booklet is in one piece. Haha.
