I thought the images of the Mona Lisa and the Alamo were the most revealing.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

The Mona Lisa made me laugh. Apparently, you don’t really get see the art so much as the people trying to see it.
While I had seen that shot of The Pyramids of Giza its still amazing to think how close the Cario has come to it. The other interesting one was The Kaaba I’ve see that picture with the black box for ages but never seen the context of in the larger city.
I stayed in one of the hotels just to the left of The Alamo in that pic — yeah I was stuned. In the pics it looks like its in the middle of nowhere. Most of the complex is gone and a couple streets go through it. That building is sandwiched between hotels, a drug store, office building…. to get those cool “this is The Alamo” sahots you have to aim the camera just right to not see a huge commercial sign a couple stories above and behind it.
