Jewelry Stand in St. Augustine
I was looking for something new to rant about so I settled on this display stand. All the jewelries shown there look pretty unique. I cannot say if they are valuable not.

The white light has a way of distorting the colors of the image. Since this is a window image,...

Modern builders need to take lessons from the past. Most buildings made after the years 1900s have fallen already. A good portion were destroyed by man's hands, but the rest have pretty much fallen on their own. There has been a disassociation between architects and physicist. Now people who design most buildings focus too much on the look and not whether they are...
