The Merivale Road McDonald's restaurant in Nepean, with the weird drive-through variant of the Golden Arches.

The McDonald's in Paris across the street from Gare du Nord station (which we travelled to by Eurostar train).

This was the first place in Paris that my brother and I visited on Bastille Day weekend in July 1997, and that particular McDonald's location really doesn't like it when you take a photograph of the menu, as though they've never seen Pulp Fiction and didn't know that I wanted to bring back visual proof that the Quarter Pounder is called "Le Royale" in France.

Also, the various McDonald's I ate at in Paris are the most crowded I've ever been to anywhere in the world, seriously! And it was 90% locals, too!

A photo, taken on Avenue des Champs-Élysées on Bastille Day weekend in July 1997, at twilight.

Everything was all silver and blue in real life. I swear I haven't colour adjusted in this photo in any way, aside from the normal scanning corrections I do in Photoshop.

Even McDonald's Golden Arches don't appear to be their normal yellow colour.

The British countryside just the way I love it: McDonald's, petrol stations, and cooling towers. ;-)

I believe those cooling towers were for a coal power plant, not a nuclear power plant. At least, that's what my mother claims.

Also, Sunglass Hut.
