The other day there was this Muslim lady leading a cow down a path and the cow would stop and eat and then the two of them would move on to another spot.<br /><br />Beside them was an old Roman aqueduct. Its arches had supported the water for centuries. <br /><br />Every morning there is another place in the world where they stop and film the sunrise for one hour. The views in China were stunning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-62811569304989406332010-01-16T15:40:24.480+01:002010-01-16T15:40:24.480+01:00Dave and Graeme, thanks so much.

That's when I found out the true reason for their existance.<br />Happy new year to you. <br />GraemeGraemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163741451813771921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-34920502340218659652010-01-16T15:04:34.121+01:002010-01-16T15:04:34.121+01:00This must be like a flying buttress.

Would love to see scarlet geraniums tumbling out of them.<br /><br /><br />Some of the cabling on the bridge looks like it is for cable tv. What a wierd contrast!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
