Photo Taken at The Hague -2005

This is my sister in law the art teacher, who during a visit to Holland hatched a plan.

She joined a tour group and put on this outfit. Slipped under the ropes that kept the crowd back while her husband shot this photo (with an instamatic camera I think) She said the bells and whistles went off and security came and pulled her aside for some time. But no one took the camera away.




Cool huh?

Pretty neat! I didn't know the original was that small. Love the frame on it.
So.... she just happened to have some yellow and blue scarves with her?

I think she was with a group that was also touring catholic churches, or they had visited the churches themselves, so the women had scarves. Hers was yellow, and knowing her she asked a perfect stranger to let her borrow the blue one.

I like your sister-in-laws moxie. Thanks for the laugh.

Great sense of humor! Thank you for sharing!

great pic!

That's a riot. The photo is great and totally unique. She's lucky she didn't get thrown in jail or something like that. judy

Brilliant. Obviously the Dutch have the same attitude to security as have the British.
I wonder if she'd visit again wearing a larger earring. Some people are never satisfied. On second thoughts, no, she'll now be on CCTV.
It reminds me of a visit Jackie and I made to Rome four years ago. The only thing I enjoyed was a visit to the Villa Borghese. I was allowed to photograph, and TOUCH a large painting by Titian. My painting hasn't improved though.
