You horrible man! You posted that just to make me feel dizzy!

Mills--- that's the truth! I don't think I'd have been capable of taking that picture! But I've enjoyed all of them. It's great to see you using the word "our" in a post!!

Have you been reading about the plan to name a new seven wonders of the world list? Here are my favorites of the 21 nominated sites.

Acropolis, Athens (450-330 BC)
Excluded from the original Seven Ancient Wonders list because it was too close to home for Greek tourists, the Acropolis is a serious contender today.
Dominating Athens from its rocky crag, it is the site of four Classical temples, including the Parthenon

Ankor, Cambodia (9th-15th century AD)
Not a single solitary temple, Ankor is actually a 100,000-acre forested area with the remains of different Khmer monuments.
Most famous is Angkor Wat, said to be the world's largest religious monument

Great Wall of China (220 BC and 1368-1644 AD)
China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, built the Great Wall as a defence against northern invaders.
It stretches 3,725 miles, from the desert to the Pacific

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul (532-537 AD)
Built on the banks of the Bosphorus, this Byzantine masterpiece, which fuses the spirituality and architecture of East and West, has stood as a church for a millennium and a mosque for five centuries

Taj Mahal, Agra (1630 AD)
A testament to Muslim art, this white marble mausoleum was built by the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, who died giving birth to their 14th child

I'll be honest, I didn't take that photo that's looking to the ground, on the Glass Flooring. Flash was brave enough to take that. I took the rest. (But I did stand AND sit on the flooring) - I think everyone's seen that.. If not I'll post it, later.

Mills--- that's the truth! I don't think I'd have been capable of taking that picture! But I've enjoyed all of them. It's great to see you using the word "our" in a post!!

I tried it out as my Desktop Picture, but it actually did make me feel queezey!

Well.. ya know.. ! !

Very atmospheric photos, you recently posted, Buzz. .

Rudbeckia Occidentalis Green Wizard.

I'm growing this in a large pot at work and it's one of my favourite Rudbeckia's.

Some more of the finalists for the new seven wonders of the world...

Petra, Jordan (9 BC-40 AD)
Half-built, half-carved into sheer rock by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people, this rose-hued city is surrounded by mountains containing tombs and funerary vaults

Statue of Liberty, New York (1886)
Standing at the entrance to New York harbour, this historic symbol of freedom has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States

Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow (1156-1850)
Still retaining the aura of early Tsarist Russia, this former royal citadel consists of palaces, armouries and a medieval fortress.
St Basil's Basilica, crowned with its onion domes, is equally beautiful on the inside

Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro (1931)
With arms outspread in a wingspan of 100ft, this art deco-style figure has become an iconic image of Brazil

Roman Colosseum, Rome (70-82 AD)
Once capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the vast amphitheatre is where ancient Rome came to watch gladiatorial contests, mythological plays and executions

Chaz,
Are you implying that I posted a pic from Vogue? Well if so, you should know by now I never post pics I don't own copyright of and on the rare occasion I do I try make sure I have permission to do so and mention so in my posts. Very rarely will you see me posting anything that is not mine.

I don't know if that peacock happens to have worked with Vogue. I would imagine that Vogue, like many other fashion publications, are not averse to borrowing ideas when it suits them. Or are inspired by the works of others. And that works the other way round as well. Vogue is an institute in that regard.

Of course there is also the possibility Vogue worked with/featured the artists who created this piece. You can find more about them here You tell me!
They are called the Idiots and their work is to be honest, almost beyond belief, I love it! It's creepy, wicked, wild, beautiful and wonderful all rolled into one.

The peacock itself is on exhibit here in the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem as part of the Happy Fashion Bienale 2007 and I took this pic and have more of it. If Vogue should happen to want to use it I am of course more than happy to sell the photo and the rights

I love the peacock: concept and execution! And, buttons, the photo is tops! That's an incredible amount of detail to capture! Look at the cross-stitching! (*U*)

More of the finalists for the new list of "wonders"

Timbuktu, Mali (12th century AD)
At its height, this legendary West African city prospered from the trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold along the Niger River, building great universities, libraries and mosques.

Sydney Opera House (1954-73)
This performing arts venue beside Sydney Harbour Bridge is the newest of the finalists, with its design based on complex sections of a sphere.

Stonehenge, Wiltshire (3000-1600 BC)
The oldest of the 21 finalists and the only British entrant, this Neolithic pattern of stone circles is aligned with the Summer Solstice, which occurs this year at 4.58am on June 21.

Actually, what I was meaning to say was I would not be surprised to see Your photo in Vogue! It looks very much like some of the "shoots" they might do!

You do Good Work!! And ... perhaps you might consider showing them some of your stuff??

Sorry that my wording may have carried unintentional implications! (As I seem to manage, too often, while typing!)

Keep smilin'!! (And, snappin'!)
Chaz

P.S. Thanks for "The Idiots" link!
