Hello from our vacation!

Here's a picture of us looking at an amazing bridge during our trip to the capital. The bridge itself was copyrighted, so we couldn't include it in the picture, but you can clearly see from our expressions how amazing it was.

EDIT: As it turns out, the house we were standing in front of had a facade that was copyrighted, so we had to take the picture down, but we can assure you that we looked amazed in the shot.

EDIT #2: We would have liked to at least provide a link to the official tourist information site for the bridge, but the link would have cost us too much to include, so you'll have to find it on your own.

(The EU legislators are still, even after having their previous proposal shot down in the Parliament, considering two horrible laws: one to make it possible for copyright holders to forbid people from sharing pictures showing landmarks and sculptures even if they are on permanent display in public places, and another to require people to ask permission and possibly pay a fee to link to material that has been made freely and openly available online. This post is not nearly as far from becoming reality as you might wish.)
