See the little gas pump? See that little arrow thingy on the left? That means the gas tank is on the left.
Who knew?! LOL
I'm sure you've seen this next picture;
It's called Fly Geyser. I had to look it up because in my head, I said "photoshoped" I was wrong. That's wild!!
I also looked this one up because it was so cool!
Chand Baori, in the village of Abhaneri near Bandikui, Rajasthan, is a famous stepwell. The well is located opposite Harshat Mata Temple. It was built in the 9th century by King Chanda of the Nikumbha Dynasty and has 3,500 narrow steps in 13 stories and is 100 feet deep.
As the green water at the base attests, the Chand Baori well is no longer in use, but it makes for an interesting stop-over to an architecturally impressive structure.
That's incredible! Do you ever really think about the people who did these things, centuries ago? As I've grown older I find that I appreciate the time, pride, craftsmanship and knowledge it took to create things. To build structures. To sculpt statues. To sew/weave clothing and rugs and blankets. Everything done by hand. From sun up to sun down. Willingly or not. A few years ago, we had a chance to see the King Tut Exhibit. I was really taken aback by the time it must have taken to create a pair of beaded slippers. It's not like they could go to Hobby Lobby and buy the beads they needed or thread or the right size needle. Over three THOUSAND years ago!
I don't feel very accomplished right now.
