Waaaay cool! Thanks!
...things will go as they will; and there's no use hurrying to meet them.
Reminds me of Verne's Mysterious Island, good book.
Great photo. When I first viewed the picture,....I see this large, circular 'blob'....thinking it was accidental discoloration drops of some chemical or solution. I'm looking for a two winged ol' crate something the Wright Bros. would have put together. Boy,...was I wrong. :^)
