...and portals.
The Gods must be crazy...
...crazy turtle creatures...
...creatures climbing a chair with feet.
And a human hand trying to climb as well.
Right off the bat I thought of Slipknot.

Statues of the Gods and portals to the unknown...
Passages...
...and portals.
The Gods must be crazy...

...creatures climbing a chair with feet.
And a human hand trying to climb as well.
Right off the bat I thought of Slipknot.

Of statues and historic dwellings...
"We're in the money!"
"I saw him over there..."
Blue shutters and moldy shingles...
It's in the details...
Let the light shine in...
Here's a desktop for you. Click for giant size!
Another take on the sands of time.

The Eagle, Our National Emblem...
Click for "American Bald Eagle Sized" desktop image...
On the backs of our gold coins, the silver dollar, the half dollar and the quarter, we see an eagle with outspread wings.
On the Great Seal of the United States and in many places which are exponents of our nation's authority we see the same emblem.
The eagle represents freedom. Living as he does on the tops of lofty mountains, amid the solitary grandeur of Nature, he has unlimited freedom, whether with strong pinions he sweeps into the valleys below, or upward into the boundless spaces beyond.
It is said the eagle was used as a national emblem because, at one of the first battles of the Revolution (which occurred early in the morning) the noise of the struggle awoke the sleeping eagles on the heights and they flew from their nests and circled about over the heads of the fighting men, all the while giving vent to their raucous cries. "They are shrieking for Freedom," said the patriots.
Thus the eagle, full of the boundless spirit of freedom, living above the valleys, strong and powerful in his might, has become the national emblem of a country that offers freedom in word and thought and an opportunity for a full and free expansion into the boundless space of the future.
