Parisian Cloud
What a great idea! Because you know, there really isn’t much to take pictures of in Paris. So, when life gives you lemons and all that.

I recognize that grass! That was in my aunt’s yard last June!
September 29, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I think I may recognize that cup… It’s from Coffee Beanery, right?
September 29, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Who else sees the “Frog Trying to Escape the Chimp” in the “French” cloud?
September 29, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Is it a French cloud or are we still calling them Freedom clouds?
September 29, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Just you Grot.
September 29, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I didn’t get where I am today without being able to recognize a Parisian cloud.
September 29, 2010 at 1:46 pm
OOOH! I know where the last picture was taken. STARBUCKS! Right? Starbucks? Yeah, I KNEW it!
September 29, 2010 at 1:47 pm
Etsy tells its sellers that a great story will help move listings. And I gotta say, “This picture was taken in Paris, France” is a helluva good read.
More good stories I can recommend:
“There’s This One Whale I Hate” by Herman Melville
“Cookies Really Make You Think” by Marcel Proust
“Last Summer I Had the Craziest Dream” by William Shakespeare
Original title: “I Know What You Dreamed Last Summer” – BD

I saw the cloud picture, and I thought “wow, that’s a nice watercolor” and then I found out it was a cloud. How do we know it’s Parisian? Where are the bowler hats and umbrellas? Where are the green apples?
Does the cloud have an attitude and only rains on Americans who are in Paris?
September 29, 2010 at 1:48 pm
I refuse to believe this cloud was from France unless it has a mustache. Everyone in France has a mustache.
Especially the women.
September 29, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Yeah, that looks like a French cloud. After a few bottles of nouveau beaujolais.
It also looks like a flaky croissant with a chunk near the top chewed off. After a few bottles of wine.
September 29, 2010 at 1:50 pm
was A PICTURE OF a cloud.
Stupid postmenopausal hormones make brain dead…
September 29, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I see an elephant lying on an inflatable pool raft. Anyone?
September 29, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Why does that cloud remind me of goatse?
September 29, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I know that cloud – I saw it outside the “coffee shop” in Amsterdam
September 29, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I like the last photo, with its smudged orange table reflecting the coffee house decor and that straw that seems to be escaping from the (tall?) coffee. It really speaks to me; it seems to say: “$18 is a lot for something I can just copypaste.”
Or, you know, go outside and take a similar picture myself.
September 29, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Rejected titles:
“The Big Cooter in the Sky” (too literal)
or
“Legs Up In the Air” (too conceptual)
September 29, 2010 at 1:56 pm
I would gladly pay as much as $21.06 for a photograph of a cirrocumulus undulatus cloud taken from anywhere in Luxemburg.
But 18 bucks for a rather pedestrian French cumulus? No way.
September 29, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Marcel Duchamp you ain’t, buster!
unless it comes with a certificate of authenticity witnessed by Nicolas Sarkozy, there’s no deal!
September 29, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Ceci n’est pas une cloud.
At least Buzzkill Crying Glitter Eagle will get that one.
September 29, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Looks to me as if someone is trying to sell her clipart collection. But I could be wrong.
September 29, 2010 at 2:00 pm
OMG! Who KNEW there was a Starbucks on the MOON!
September 29, 2010 at 2:02 pm
the seller finally fessed up.* the cloud is actually American, but it’s considered a genius in France.
*(no they didn’t. i’m making this all up).

Hmm…I am going to take a picture of the insides of a tree. I have been to the Keebler Elves factory so many times now, I have lost count, really.
September 29, 2010 at 2:09 pm
@stretch, What a coincidence!I saw that exact cloud in Amsterdam after some coffee.
September 29, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Wonder how much I could get for my Alabamian Penis Cloud picture…

September 29, 2010 at 2:13 pm
I recognized the cloud as french immediately. The phallic image is clearly uncircumcized and expressing an oh la la.
September 29, 2010 at 2:23 pm
sorry if i’m coming across as bitter, but i’m not falling for this, not twice!
you can’t trick me again!
…fucking magic beans!
September 29, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Now I get it, the artiste is a visionary, sounding the alarm & showing us all the folly of corporate global power and if we don’t wake up & smell the coffee, clouds everywhere will be generic & all look alike and there’ll be a Starbucks on every corner.
September 29, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Precisely, Hamoza! Although, if I squint my eyes a certain way, it sort of looks like the French president snorting cocaine off his supermodel wife’s chest in a very large bed.
September 29, 2010 at 2:34 pm
Ham-ster – the cloud it had a weird smell, its own jen’ne sequae
September 29, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I feel that your judgment of this picture is clouded…
September 29, 2010 at 2:40 pm
I bet when French people look at this cloud they see the face of Jerry Lewis.
September 29, 2010 at 2:42 pm
That looks more like a Spanish cloud to me. El Nube. What a fucking liar.
September 29, 2010 at 2:51 pm
I’m gonna fart into some bottles and sell it as “L’air de la Fromage Francais.”
September 29, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Look at that cloud being all superior, like it’s SOOO much more sophisticated and cultured than me, with its pashmina arranged just so over one shoulder while it laughs at my tennis shoes.
September 29, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Classic beginner’s mistake. If that were Parisian, it would be a nuage.
September 29, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Perhaps if the artist sharpied a little beret on the cloud?
September 29, 2010 at 3:14 pm
@16@ Why-Marcel Duchamp , no. But perhaps a wee bit of Rene’ Magritte?
September 29, 2010 at 3:26 pm
I see a French cloud learning to French kiss… and failing.
September 29, 2010 at 3:28 pm
The cloud is overexposed and blown out. Also flat with no contrast.

The second display image. That made it to the front page of Etsy?!? Are you fucking shitting me?
Fuck it. The next wedding I shoot I will just bring my sons Fisher Price digital camera. Apparently the bar is quite low for what is considered as good photography.
September 29, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Okay, I was all good with the joke until I reached the last photograph. The exaggeration was taken a might too far there; that could literally be taken anywhere in the known universe.
September 29, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I see a Himalayan cat attacking its owner, while wearing the shredded remnants of a Jeff Goldblum costume.
Or a butterfly.
September 29, 2010 at 4:24 pm
I shot a photo in the air
from the earth, i know not where
i tried to recall but i forgetsy
so i’ll say Paris and sell it on Etsy
September 29, 2010 at 4:33 pm

September 29, 2010 at 5:19 pm
something was clouding their judgment when it comes to photography
September 29, 2010 at 6:11 pm
anyone else see a face screaming
September 29, 2010 at 6:35 pm
The clouds in Paris are tre chic. Such a special image for such a low price. I wonder if there are any images of the Parisian moon?
September 29, 2010 at 6:46 pm
She has a whole Pebble series that blows the cloud away. In fact the Pebble series rocks.
September 29, 2010 at 6:48 pm
@#55 twinkletoes:
i think we can just take that for granite

The Often-Crappy Crafter: I think you mean ceci n’est pas un nuage.
September 29, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Eighteen bucks for a cloud in Paris? I’m posting the pic I took of my husband (a real life actual French man) falling asleep standing up on the Metro from our honeymoon. Fuck it, for that price, I’m offering the whole album. $10,000 for the collection. I mean, it has real French people in it, so that makes it more valuable.
September 29, 2010 at 8:27 pm
everyone sees something different in cloud formations. I see an over-priced picture.
September 29, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Often-Crappy Crafter and Buzzkill Crying Glitter Eagle, I don’t care if he was Belgian – it make the photo 1,000% better:

Black Ice: was trying to be funny. Thought it worked since “pipe” is the same in French and English.
Debbie Downer: YES!! Can I have THAT on a T-shirt, please??
September 30, 2010 at 5:30 am
I know where that Starbucks picture isn’t from… We don’t have Starbucks in Finland. But maybe that’s a good thing.

(NMS) VEDD FTW! I would love to drink my coffee from that every morning.

He did live and paint in Paris for a time before WW11.

I also want a t-shirt of that, Debbie.

HK – can we PLEASE get “Ceci n’est pas Paris” on the cloud in zazzle?
