Monkey soaking up the last rays of the setting sun. He is watching the airplane high in the sky. Picture from our 20 mile hike in the Superstition wilderness.
In all my travels, I have never been as remotely impressed with a building as much as I have by the Pantheon. Its majesty, age (1,900 years old), well preserved condition, influential architectural style and participant and witness to two millennia of history all leave me speechless as I stand under its oculus - which I have had the fortune to do several times over my life.

The next week will be devoted to this building.
It's been a long time but hopefully I won't fall off the wagon again.
