The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

DEBATE TRIVIA: President Obama is the first
black person Romney has talked to since his speech at the NAACP.
Great question, how Mitt is different than
Bush. Answer: not! His 5 point plan is same as Bush's. Which was also McCain's.
See a pattern?

Roman Colosseum |
The
Roman Colosseum or Coliseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was
commisioned in AD 72 by Emperor Vespasian. It was completed by his son, Titus,
in 80, with later improvements by Domitian.
The Colosseum is located just east of the Roman Forum and was built to a practical design, with its 80 arched entrances allowing easy access to 55,000 spectators, who were seated according to rank. The Coliseum is huge, an ellipse 188m long and 156 wide. Originally 240 masts were attached to stone corbels on the 4th level.
