  1. They don't look like that on the rez (anymore). It makes you ask what they gained and what they lost.

  2. Wow, for some reason, that picture has the "it" factor. Not sure how else to say it. The substantial structure, the proper stairs, the low door opening, the stuff on the roof, the hanging basket, the bare feet and the hair style. It says to me that humans are amazingly capable, even capable of making something substantial from nothing, with nothing.

    1. Frederick Monsen knows composition. Come to think of it, all societies started from nothing, and built the various cultures from that, as each saw fit. Now some of us are landing rovers on Mars, not for motivations of money or power, but from pure curiosity. Awesome indeed.
