taken yesterday... today we expect snow...

It was very windy, and tough to get a good picture, but this is at my fence.

Moni

Stonehenge

Just finished puzzle. Was hoping that the weather would be better by now so I could spend my time outside puttering in the flower beds. Like Moni, snow in the weather report again and temps in the upper teens for Wednesday morning.

A Roman aqueduct just north of the city of Nimes.

In the year before we saw it a massive flood in the area washed entire houses down the river. When the houses hit the base of the arches, they crumpled and disintegrated having virtually no effect on the ancient structure.

Bob, in your second picture, the second arch from the right, are those people there? If so, my goodness, marveling at the size of the aqueduct!

Mine is some neat rock ledges formed by a creek in a park not too far from my house.

It is a person, but looking closely at the original, he is sitting down next to a blue cooler. This zoom on the first image gives a better idea of the size relative to people.

According to wikipedia it is 160 ft tall, 1180 ft long at the top, and descends about an inch from one end to the other. It was built to bring water to Nimes, and it only descends 56 ft over the course of its 31 mile length. Truly impressive.

Sedona, AZ rock formation.

Nice pics of Stonehenge. Can you imagine how big those brutes must have been to have lifted those stones in place? Just kidding. People have been speculatng for several centuries about how it was done and no one knows for sure.

All of the pictures of Shonehenge and the pyramids amaze me. I would love to see them up close and personal.

This isn't one of "The Pyramids" but it certainly is a pyramid.
