We see some nice sunsets often from our large window here (not usually THAT colorful).  I'm going to try and paint one here shortly in my ultra amateurish efforts to paint.

If it's not too awful I might post it here.  It'll probably be pretty awful though.
its actually a sunrise Galveston

This was on FB and I'm trying to paint it, sort of.  Right now it looks more like a volcano exploding ...

Used to be a cool rock sticking out of the water on the AZ/UT border.  Now you can just walk out to it.

The Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge, in Japan, is an example of how to build a bridge from one mountainside to another when the sides of the mountain are so steep that it is not possible to build a road at the same elevation on both sides. It's one of the most spectacular bridges in the world.
This double spiral brings cars up and down a full 45 meters (148 feet) while being seemingly suspended in a valley between two mountainsides.
Some other stats:
- 1.1 km long
- 80 meters in diameter
- speed limit: 30 km/h

many many great places to visit that are closer than that

seems like more effort

I didn't enjoy the flight from Honolulu to Chicago
Istanbul to Chicago was brutal. It was our only option when we missed our flight from Venice to Chicago. Our flight from Paris to Venice that day was redirected to Bologna. We sat on the tarmac in Bologna for two hours frantically trying to re-arrange flights. When we finally got to leave Bologna and landed in Venice, the TAP Portugal plane that was supposed to take us to Chicago was taxiing to take off. It's a pretty desolate feeling to see that.
