Friendship Bell in Oak Ridge, TN.


When our scientists build a bomb to drop on two of your cities, the way to make nice is through a really big bell.

I'm sure I should be treating whomever this butt belongs to with greater respect. He earned a place in the Capitol Gardens. I'm sure he did great things. Such as having a great butt. Whoops! Sorry sir!

(Sculpted) Column of Trajan in the Forum of Trajan, Rome. The continuous frieze around the shaft shows the Roman emperor Trajan's military campaigns in Dacia. The monument commemorates Trajan, his military prowess and may have housed his cinerary urn. It's an amazing sculptural feat and an invaluable record.

Votive statuettes dedicated in ancient Hipponion (modern Vibo Valentia). I'm not sure which goddess they were intended for, but probably Aphrodite, Demeter or Persephone. These would date to the 6th c. BC.
