Ancient Iranian citadel destroyed in a 2003 earthquake (from 360 world cities, so well worth the look- panorama 360 rotation). Wikipedia article about said citadel- Arg-é Bam.
Buchenwald as it was liberated. (series of photos from Life Magazine- Warning- some pretty horrifying pix- I quit partway through. Yes, I have a weak stomach for things like this. I no longer visit war museums or places like the Holodomor museum in Kyiv. I have no quibbles with whether or not those things happened. I don't need to see it to believe or feel the horror of it. I put the link here because of the historic nature of the pix as well as the event and because I think some of you will be interested in seeing them. And because Life Magazine was phenomenal and their website is great.)
Someone mentioned St Louis' "City Museum" recently. Wow! Anyone been there? Reminded me a bit of 'The House on the Rock' in Spring Green, WI. One of my favorite places. on Wikipedia
Collection of photos from the Viet Nam war.
Zip...found alive in a bag of mulch (this is an ongoing story and, I understand, is still being updated. It'll activate your cute receptors, for sure...just not at the start!)
Biscuits and gravy? Yes, Please! These look fab!
What not to give a knitter...and why.
Quirky street art...by a Russian artist.
Why spelling does, after all, matter. Tongues, anywone?
For your inner child...and then invite me over, please. No, I don't want to actually take a trip down that thing- but I want to watch you!
Kids and their favorite toys. (I thought of a certain little girl and a typewriter and could picture her wanting her picture taken with that!)
Someone (that would be you, Kristina! :) ) recently referred to the fact that Google Reader is being discontinued. And, while I was in mourning for awhile, I've now switched (and mostly adjusted) to Feedly. But her comment reminded me that I have a raft of articles starred in Reader. Things I wanted to keep track of, for some reason or other. Sat afternoon when all was quiet, I started wading through them. These are some of them. I'm sure you'll see more. Since I'm enjoying posting links. For now. :)
