The Mona Lisa was my Screensaver (Background) for Years
Now it is the the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
I find both images amazing and can actually stare at them for long periods of time (yeah I’m weird)
If I smoked Dope I could probably stare at them longer

Thanks for the tip.

I feel another project coming on......

With you on the Hubble Ultra Deep Field...but also go to the other end with ultra 4K insect images...

Just as amazing and complex.... random conglomeration of atoms...sure.

I wondered that such a structure would disable the waterway for trade or, what kind of work-around system would be installed (i.e. temporary ports on both sides of the bridge under construction).

An elegant solution.

I remember seeing an article and a video on this. Beautiful bridge, and it really does work.

da Vinci really was the Einstein of his time.

But he was white, so he was bad. /s
