I spend a lot of time just wandering around looking at things. I take pictures of a lot of them because they are interesting. Most of them are flowers and critters, and end up over at the Cernunnos Foundation website. On the other hand, while I was going through a bunch of old pics, I noticed I take a lot of pictures of structures that I find interesting. Most of them are victorian era homes, bridges, and statues (from classical to odd) Based on that I decided to include a section here at the Blue Ribbon Team just for that type of thing. If you enjoy them, poke around some more. If not…. My bad.
