'Wheelie' Good Shot..?
Hey Folks!
I'm planning a 'Wheelie' good Euro tour for this September (2010) and want to have a picture taken outside a famous monument in the capital cities I'm heading through. 
The problem is, I'll be pulling a wheelie!  (a short/small one) and want the proof picture to encompass this with the building/monument in the background. I'm asking for help with the communities with taking the shot but would like some advice on the best way of taking the picture..?
I have a digital SLR (Canon EOS 1000D) and a compact (Samsung L77). Time will not on my side due to the short wheelie and the slight disregard of local 'official opinion'! So I'd like to set up the camera myself so the helper can point and shoot reasonably discreetly and not get into trouble as an accomplice!
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and here's the list of places so if anyone knows of a good angle or vantage point, again I'd appreciate it!
Scotland- Edinburgh- Edinburgh Castle
England- London- Big Ben (Poss Millenium Eye or Tower of London)
France- Paris- Eiffel Tower or L'Arc de Triomphe
Andorra- Andorra la Vella
Spain- Madrid- Plaza de Cibeles
Portugal- Lisbon- Tower of Belem
Italy- Rome- Collisieum
Liechtenstein- Vaduz (?)
Switzerland- Bern- Zyteglogge
Germany- Berlin- Brandemberg Gate
Belgium- Brussels- Mannequin Pis (or Atomium)
Netherlands- Amsterdam- Dam Platz
I'm know some people don't agree, that's ok and I've already been told to 'grow up!' but I'm asking for advice on photography, not the trip itself.
Many Thanks in advance
Geoff
