Description

Well, I've been away for a while so I am a way bit behind in comments, sorry about that. Been in New York for business, a major conference and then time touring museums and the Met, all business. Must say I am glad to be home now, New York did not really impress me like say London or Istanbul. Really nice people no matter where I went, and I went in some pretty rough areas of the Bronx. A real hot and humid concrete jungle New York was. But got some decent night shots that I'll post in a bit. So this one is for Delaney who a few images ago asked if I had photographed any of the stones themselves from Perge. Well, yes indeed my dear I have a few closeups; so here is one with some Roman decorations on limestone blocks. These were probably originally facades that had fallen from the roof or wall of a merchants shop - they were near the agora. Sorry, I was on my own when I took these and so I don't have much more information on them. Previous Perge

Very cool shot. You captured a lot of detail and depth. Welcome home. There's a million things to do in New York, but I never seem to go there despite it's close proximity. I like the woods too much.

I read that susan wished you a happy birthday - I didn't know... Happy Birthday. I've never wanted to go to NY.... My QB Tebow is there now though, so I'll be paying a little bit more attention to NY. cool stones and to see them laying in weeds and still looking great - WOW!

OH my!!! That is really amazing. I find it incredible that they were able to such intricate repeating patterns with the technology of the day, not to mention perfect columns. This has me thinking I should attempt a frame like this too. Thank you Roxy for the amazing gift! And Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great one.

How intricately crafted! And all by hand. I wish architects and builders today would spend the time and efford on decorating houses like that still. Seems since WWII only plain and ugly is accepted as modern and right - in most cases anyway, there certainly are some exceptions.

Well, first and foremost..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and welcome back, Roxy! Glad you had a good trip! And glad you're back home safely. You know, it always amazes me when I see photos of the amazing intricate work these "ancient" folks did with crude tools... I could be wrong, I suppose, but I don't think they had Dremel tools back then.... Anyway, this is a great shot of the detail in these fantastic carvings. Can't wait to see some of your NY photos!
