Long story this time. My mum had birthday last month and she likes Paris very much. When we went there this year we made some pictures of this city (here: http://gallery.dicke-aersche.de/Photo-Alben/003000_Paris%202006/ ) and afterwards I thought: what if I go to some shop and tell ' em: C'mon, I'd like to have a canvas and a frame of this picture. You can find such services a lot at the internet, but you never know if it's ok, if you can see pixels, how sharp it is etc. So I went to bauhaus (http://www.bauhaus.info/) and although they're a store for "do-it-yourself"-stuff they showed some examples because they have a framing service and now even a canvas-printing service. It lasts almost 2 weeks but it looked perfect and my mum liked it very much (hm, at least I hope so, because she hanged it near the toilet door...). One of those originals you can see here:

It's not the same picture (I didn't posted it anywhere yet), but it's very similar. BTW, I changed it to get my signature in the picture, saved it as a tiff pic and even this was fine to those guys of the service. They did everything fine!

It's very, very nice of you that you did this for your mother. I'm really touched...."near the toilet door" - that's the funny part...hihi.
I'm pretty sure she loves it! ;o)

Thank you stu!
And bojtorjan: she has to like it because the toilet is often the room where you spend a lot of time (not as much as the bedroom), and almost all visitors use the toilet normally. It's a perfect place for a good show! :))))
