Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. So for today's Photo Friday I wanted to share a piece of comic history. This is Tales of Suspense #39. It is the first appearance of Iron Man. And its worth a good amount of money. So how did I come by it to take a photo? My parents were going through some of my dad's old comic books. They were going to donate or throw them out, but then remembered I was into comics so they asked me to come over and look at them. As I went through poorly maintained super man

Trajan's Kiosk seen on Agilika Island, part of the Philae Temple complex. The original Philae island (below) would frequently be flooded. But once the great dam was built, the island was going to be year-round flooded so a rescue effort to move the complex to nearby Agilika Island was done in the 1960's.

Niederwalddenkmal is a monument in the Rhine Valley dedicated to the unification of Germany. It boasts of a beautiful walking park and great views of the valley. On the day I went, it was a quiet foggy landscape where you couldn't see the monument at all! So here is the gazebo in the park, the only thing beyond a few trees that i could see.

I worked for years for a company that provided websites and technical supports for photo labs and their customers so you could place orders online.

This is my travel diary of my trip to Egypt. It contains in detail my memories of what I did and saw. Tuesday October 27, 2015 Egypt: Day 6, Part 1 – Alexandria Pearl of the Mediterranean Elizabeth's photo of our view. I forgot to take photos of this. I woke up and headed down to breakfast before Elizabeth. The breakfast area looks out over the pool, which was half full with muddy water. Its a good thing we were so busy and wouldn't have time to swim...because it wouldn't have been an option. Due to the flooding I'd read
