Purple Waterbug!


Easel Weenie LOVES this art. Gee, I wonder why?

Fine artist reality show?

I don't know how I feel about this. But it CAN be interesting!

Venice's Accademia Bridge


To be remade again? In 1488 it was an idea. The bridge wasn't actually built until 1854! That steel structure was torn down and replaced by a wooden bridge in the 1930s. In 1985 THAT bridge was replaced by the present bridge (built to match identically). And now...they're thinking of re-doing it.

ARTICLE on redesign announcement

I think they need to take some tips from the Romans. The Ponte Fabricio (Pons Fabricius) bridge was built in 62 B.C. and stands today in its original state.
