I've always wanted a set like the Mapes - black background, white font and outer ring. This is inspiring me!
Large crown mold?

Hiking in Tumelo OR looking north towards Three Sisters.
I was just there last weekend! Stayed on a farm in Tumalo. Met up with @Big Jilm.
Walk about at Smiths Rock
Do concerts on vacation count? Basically I’m best friends with Pitbull right?
Yea, they count. And Trent just wants a hug from me.
I took this photo at a NIN and Jane's Addiction concert in Vegas back in 2009. Just one of a bunch of awesome photos I took at that concert!
Afternoon vacation?
NOT vacations, but rather a tough business twin trip, to Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
-17C in SPB, with the wind making it -23C.
Red Square (or Beautiful one, same word in Russian; that's why it was called that way since Tsarist times), with the Kremlin's wall
St Vassilius' Cathedral
Inside the Kremlin
The Holy Cross slaying the Crescent
That's Russia's birth certificate, or her baptism cross, given to her by her Godmother, medieval Greece .
It's the crown given in 988 by the Eastern Roman (or Greek, or wrongly "Byzantine") Emperor Constantinos Monomakhos to the -up to then pagan- Chief of the Rus, Vladimir of Kiev.
The Crown symbolized the Russians' Christianization and their adoption of Writing, using an alphabet given to them by the Empire, based on the Greek one, but adapted for Slavic languages' sounds.
All Russians Tsars only used it once; just for their coronation (which took place always in the Moscow Kremlin, even after the Capital was moved to Saint Petersburg by Peter the Great).
Nikita Chrutshiov, being not just communist but also a Ukrainian, thought about gifting it to Queen Elizabeth, but other, more Russian-minded members of the Polit Bureau told their Comrade, the Secretary General, to go f himself.
The Kremlin's main office building
Finally, a cute little Russian pet, nice and sweet.

St Isaac's Cathedral in SPB
The Winter Palace complex, now the mythical Ermitage Museum, where the 1917 October's coup was started by the ruthless Bolsheviks (the true Revolution forcing the Tsar to abdicate had happened earlier, in February 1917, putting in place a provisional Democratic Government).
I 've been to some European Royal Palaces, and I have to say that they 're mere cabins in relation to the Russian Tsars' palaces.
The Tsar's throne
Petropavlovsky fortress in the distance, over the frozen river Neva
And a frozen city canal

I had sunny side up, I had sunny side down, and I had sunny side all the way around.
I just got back from the most fun cruise vacation I've had in my life! The 80's cruise, celebrating music and popular culture of the decade. Lots of celebrity hosts from Sirius XM radio who were MTV VJ's or terrestrial DJ's back in the day as well as music industry journalists, bloggers/podcasters, and even some of the music icons of the day. 7 days of pre-paid boozing and pop/rock concerts all afternoon and evening.
Highlights of the cruise for me:
- meeting Martin Fry of ABC and leading a room in singing Happy Birthday to him
- being singled out from the audience by drummer Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger and having him throw me a guitar pick souvenir
- making a very funny and very crude joke with Teri Nunn of Berlin and embarrassing myself completely in front a huge room of fans
- meeting some of the original MTV VJs Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman
- taking a big chance with Kamikaze Karaoke with band Trial By Fire and a rendition (a.k.a. belting out) of Journey's 'Faithfully' on the pool deck
- meeting wonderful people from all over North America who share a common love of music from this era

Some great bands, Berny. I’d think I’d most want to see Living Colour. So good.
There were a few that I didn't get to because of scheduling conflicts, like Great White, Johnny Hates Jazz, Modern English.
Strangelove (a Depeche Mode tribute band) was excellent.
