Yes! Corrugated metal is a common building material, and they do amazing things with it.

Artists are many in the town, and it is a joy to stroll through. Amazing stuff!

That is a super sharp bike, in a perfect backdrop for its colors. Well done!

The final yards to the top of the Hollywood Sign, above Los Angeles, are steep but worth the effort. Those tall buildings are part of Century City, which include the Nakatomi Building, from the original Die Hard movie. Those two cyclists are both well over 50.

Santiago Chile ... they close down several main streets to motor vechicles every Sunday until 2PM. And boy, do the Chileans take advantage of it.

I just passed up a barely used Wilier Izoard XC for 700 bones. Kinda regret it, kinda don't. Makes me want a Wilier, however, a more racy one.

Thank you for this, and congratulations to whomever took it.
