- Cuthbert Allsgood 2012/10/03 18:49:04Egyptian Pyrimids+2A lot of neat architecture here, but I'm still a fan of the Pyramids solely for their ability to stand for as long as they have and the technology available to build them at the time. I don't think many modern buildings would survive half as long in half as good a condition.reply

All covered in snow . .. Very impressive . . . Indeed . . . The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, in Bridegeport, California . . . Extremely impressive.reply
