We have a few of these dotted about.

Thanks for the peek in the trench. Your daily challenge sounds like fun. Remember when we used to do a lot of that in the forum here?

I hope they are able to finish the job faster than they do here. I saw this and was reminded of how Benny Hill used to joke about municipal workers. "Poor John. He fell off his shovel and compensation set in."

Looks like they have their work cut out for them.

Thanks for the inside view.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

I like seeing into the trench. Makes me feel like I'm a bit of an insider!

both pics are fascinating, with the mix of lines and plunges etc. The trench shot looks like it was dug up without anyone's permission, like it's not supposed to be seen. This shot is fascinating for the long rows of green guard fences and those contrasting reds; and how they 'frame' the library. Love the low steep roof overhanging those windows right up to the eaves; FL Wright got some inspiration from that design, in the way he shoved his windows right up under his eaves; only, he'd never have high roofs like this; it's a beautiful library. Your angle really shows off the lines here.

(and the trench reminds me---don't ask why---about the discovery, some years back, of Richard III's body. Wasn't it discovered under a parking lot or something? And they weren't sure it was Richard? Well, I thought, maybe they'll find an early Henry here, or some early Aethelwulf or whoever. Say what you will about those dudes, they had names. Aethelbald, Aethelbert. Lotta Aethels...Beats the hell outa "Henry" and "John"...) (Aethel Merman?)

Great shot

interesting captures - love Mark's take on the scenes and the variations on a theme that he dug up
