Just a little surprised that this topic has to be presented so gingerly. (Just read Tombo's latest posting) I am curious to know..... what draws people to these ancient sites. Curiosity, scholarly, spiritual, fun or a deep sense of yearning to connect with the spirit of an ancient place?
All comments welcome!

Nice non-answer. Sorry I'm not buying it.... read enough of your postings to know it's much more than that. Unless it's not 8o)

Boringly, I've got to say All of the Above.
Plus Nature plus Landscape plus Aesthetics.
(Since taking up amateur painting I feel like I've grown extra eyes and aesthetics has become a dominating delight. It's everywhere at ancient sites and I missed it all before. Everyone should do it, for that reason alone).

Yep. He's not been the same since his crickets escaped. Now he's obsessed with Tupperware boxes.
