Just fooling around a bit with stuff. This is a snap shot I took out our front door a couple years ago, and which I just ran through a phone app called Waterlogue. Kind of fun.
The Leaden Age
The great and their pride shall sink to the bottom, And settle in silt on the deep sea bed. But now, before dropped, from the palm of God, Behold . . . the golden age of lead.
Hear the Light
