    That's how I see it, its one thing doing a sculpture in the comfort of your studio or the great outdoors but
    up there and to capture such a good image - well, its beyond me, way beyond me :)

    The measurements are unbelievable. It's hard to imagine taking up such a task. The eyes are 21 FEET long!

    I would like to visit the Colosseum in Rome, especially if I could just wander around through it by myself all day.

    Good selection, @Patsy Faye :) That reminds me: I may not have seen one or two of them or was it all of them? ;):p

    I only look at them - don't know their history ….. I did when I 'first' saw it, but then it got lost amongst all the other places
    Only know its been there a heck of a long time :p

    Has anyone ever played around with the google earth app? I used to go on it and walk the sidewalks of cities I've never been to. I wonder if you could look around at some great sites as well. I'm going to download it again tomorrow, check it out and will let you know.
