Paris, France: The Thinker

Anyone can take a photo of a famous statue from the front. It takes an artist to take that same photo from the back - while driving by on a bus, no less.

I'm no artist, but this will have to do.

"The Thinker" is one of the most famous sculptures in the world. It was done by French artist Auguste Robin, finishing the job in 1904. The subject is bending over, head on chin, considering the day's possibilities.

The statue has been in its current location since 1922, when a hotel had been turned into the Rodin Museum. Rodin had worked in that hotel, and he donated many items to the facility. The gardens are also said to be nice.

You're on your own when it comes to finding a front view of "The Thinker."
