Lens-Artists’ photo challenge for this week is Taking a Break.  When the weather is hot (or even when it’s not), it’s always nice to take a break, such as…

before a Beach Boys & Ringo Starr concert at Ravinia,

young Parisians enjoying a warm afternoon in the sculpture gardens behind the Louvre,

after work at the Overlord Museum at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France,

cooling off on a sizzling Sunday by the canals of Amsterdam,

or how about being on an Amsterdam canal in a boat?

Here’s someone who knows how to let it all hang out – aaahhh!! (midday in Cairo, Egypt)

Now let’s take a break from the heat and enjoy a classic from 1966!
