I remember geography in 6th grade and we were already talking about it in 1953- those were the beginning years the country started talking about conservation. As kids we were sure we would see it disappear in our lifetime. every once in a while the problem crops up again in the news, and no one seems to know what can be done about it.Sort of the same with the Leaning Tower of Pisa- although they have tried all kinds of things with that. But Venice is so massive! did the report say anything about any plans in the works? x0x0x-Charlie
I saw the bit about building an underwater damn and don't see the sense of it but what do I know? I was thinking more along the lines of Venice's foundations crumbling and sinking in the stuff I read over the years. -Charlie
No, I found them online. I have some I took when I was there, but I'd have to scan them since that was in 1990 before digital cameras and blogs and computers like we have now. I'm planning to scan pictures I took from various times and places and will post them eventually.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.
