This is too much fun. Let’s do it again.
Something old. Two things, soooo old it’s hard to say which came first. Both were built in similar millennia (3000-2000 B.C.), Stonehenge likely progressed slowly over hundreds of years.
Stonehenge, from a digitized print photo some 20-25 years ago:
The Djoser Pyramid, one of the oldest of those, likewise a digitized print:
Something new. The Getty Center. Museum. Opened Dec. 16, 1997. I recommend it.
Something borrowed. The low-down on how to get large-scale projects built, borrowed from the sardonic Despair.Com, when normal depression just isn’t enough:
Something blue. The sky above the now-peaceful Omaha Beach, Normandy:
Enjoy.
Excellent captures John.

excellent take on the challenge (double dipping?) and it is crazy to imagine structures so old – really does make our 80 plus years feel like a vapor
— and side note – the message from despair site is nice – but I am troubled with the whole “you can do anything” mantra because truth is we can’t – most of us have limitations – and life circumstances where maybe it is not the goal to strive to fight so hard to do anything – and we should hone and accept what we cannot do – should not do – and align our thinking to abandon dreams that really aren’t right – maybe – just thinking here – but maybe more contentment would ensue to admit flaws and legitimate areas that limit and hone in on strengths and make the right things work – hm

Indeed, and totally agreed. Well said. Despair.com is tongue in cheek and not to be taken seriously, of course.

I must say I never quite ‘get’ Stonehenge John…maybe because I haven’t seen it or it just doesn’t appeal to me..but still love your choice to include it.
