I remember going to New York for the first time and having a feeling of Déjà Vu like we'd been there before after seeing all the movies. How about Tiffany's?

Well then how about these tree houses? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57aa677df5e2314c50955c04/t/5924b6355016e128c834c8a1/1495578182346/Triple+Decker+Record+Setter+Treehouse?format=2500w You could build them …

This is apparently a cabin in Norway that lets you see the skyline. @rtwPaul has been thinking of a container home after his travels around the world on his motorcycle. I vote for something like this, although it could suck to carry your skis up …

What a beautiful, interesting, and sad story. Thank you for telling it. You're a very talented writer. How did you come to learn about them? Did you meet them in your travels? All over the world, it seems, people are being left behind by the …

I am really enjoying your snowflake series. I always heard that no two snowflakes were alike but never had any understanding why. It's interesting and they're beautiful.

That's beautiful. I wonder what a geologist would say about how it formed. So strange to see a ribbon of light rock in the middle of all that apparently black which looks so different.

Hohenzollern Castle in Germany: https://www.pandotrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Hohenzollern-Castle-Germany-1.jpg The photo is from https://www.pandotrip.com/best-castles-in-germany-32114//

Thank you, KMS. As long as I can remember, I've never been able to see enough pictures of this castle, in every season and from every angle. https://www.pandotrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Neuschwanstein-Castle-Germany-1.jpg

I saw a mesmerizing set of photos from an artist who creates paper mache replicas of the fantastical creatures found in a famous medieval …

This is a story that just keeps getting more interesting. After the Taliban blew up the statues, they discovered a maze of 50 caves behind them which contain the world's oldest oil …

You were very lucky to see it before it was destroyed. The scaffolding really shows how big it is. When I first saw your post, I assumed these were in Syria because the destruction in Palmyra made the news more recently. I looked into your statue …

Well, much as I enjoyed the Popeye cartoons they never induced me to like spinach. Maybe the current generation of kids (and new recipes) will be influenced positively.

The vintage Popeye is getting a reboot with a couple of animated shorts and a new series of comic strips. For those who might be too young to remember Popeye you can find out more …

I tried a few minutes ago and it would not load for me either. But right now it is loading okay. Wondering if maybe the site had a problem.

A few years ago I got addicted to the photo blogs Alan Taylor started, The Big Picture at Boston.com and InFocus at The Atlantic. Even though the photography is breath taking sometimes the photos are about tragedies that make me sad. Today Alan …

I thought there were some great suggestions in this article for dealing with the family during the holidays. https://bewell.stanford.edu/surviving-the-family-holiday/ Are there any examples out there to share? Maybe some that turned out funny? Or …

Some good advice from Stanford dieticians. https://bewell.stanford.edu/holiday-weight-control/ The advice there that I try to use the most is to eat more fruits and veggies. Fill up on delicious ones and you won't be quite so hungry for the …

In that case you better go to the set of Harry Potter!! ❤️ 🌪 🧹 Alnwick Castle, 45 minutes north of Newcastle. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Canaletto_Alnwick.jpg

I think that the truth should rule all. If that guy is fabricating everything, including his own background, then that should be exposed. And his fabrications should be removed. Vaccinations affect more than just the person receiving them. They …

The medieval Elitz Castle in Germany. The Elitz family has owned and lived there since the 1200s, 33 generations of them.

Now that I'm noticing castle photos, I stumbled across this and thought what is that. According to Wikipedia, it was once a proud palace, now it's a world heritage site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigiriya

Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, France. https://i.imgur.com/twL3gkD.png

I couldn't pick it out either, so thanks for that. 🙏

This isn't my picture. I'm linking it from Flickr https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2163/1987568614_e7743edaa5_b.jpg

Bavaria. We tried to hike to this spot one winter day to take a similar picture, but we couldn't figure out how to get there.
