photo identification contest: don't miss it!





thank you, dear friends. the blog is 6 weeks old and has had readers aged from 12 to 83 in 3 countries and comments in 2 languages on the blog itself, with others coming in by email and even, charmingly, by old-fashioned postcard. thank you all for taking the time to read these odds and ends.

as a reward for your attention, here's a little contest. can you identify the two structures pictured here? and further, what features might they have in common?


JM first suggested several points of comparison between these two places. you may want to send your answers by email, since "comments" on the blog are public and you could give away the correct identifications. (i have, i think, made it easier for anyone to post a comment.)

the prize: a blog entry written on the subject of your choice for all individuals giving correct answers and/or thoughtful comments, with photos if available. winners will be notified by email and may choose to remain anonymous.

contest closes at midnight edt, friday march 28th. as all our blog readers are well-traveled, i expect the competition to be keen. thanks again and good luck to you all.

in response to various inquiries, yes, these are both photos i took, and both sites are closely associated with major figures in history, well-known to you all.

so far, there are some imaginative guesses, but the competition is wide open. maybe the first prize will have to be for the most creative suggestion.

keep trying...good luck.
