Re: TAPS
I was never a great admirer of it aesthetically, but it certainly is distinctive.

I've never been there except in picture, or writing such as yours. Well done.

Kabu, that says it well. The REAL poet of the Brooklyn Bridge, thouigh, was ol' Hart Crane!

Re:lion
I hope it fits. I did one a week or so ago about the George Washington Bridge, which causes an entirely different vibe in me - it's bright, classic, clean, stately, calm. The Brooklyn Bridge - though much admired as a piece of bridge-building - always struck me as baroque, overdone, old-fasioned, having cables that were too many and too thick - a kind of Halloween bridge.

wow, I have a clear mental picture of a bridge from that and I think I will go look at pics of the Brooklyn Bridge to see if they match up

Re:CC
You're right - depends on the memories. I'd not like to be caught interrogating a rock unless of course there was a point.
Probably depends on the stone, too. I might not understand whatever language the Rosetta Stone chose to speak. Probably jusy Babylonian grocery lists, anyway.
Now, Stonehenge, that could be interesting! You speak Druidic, right?

Just a thought Bob one day we may be able to release the memories trapped in stone.
An outlandish idea, well some of the memories.
