For this CB&W Challenge, I thought my recent trip to the Roman Theater in Cartagena was appropriate. The recent dig has uncovered a beautiful theater with many seats interspersed with steps to climb up or down to the appropriate level. Be careful! No handrails!
This is an absolutely must-see stop if you visit this beautiful city on the Mediterranean.

Next we have a window that is definitely shaped like an ‘O’:

When you want some pictures of interesting bare ground, the best place to go is Yellowstone National Park. The featured image is of the ‘Fountain Paint Pot’ were mud is king and hot steam is normal.
Nearby is a desolate landscape where life holds on by a slim thread:
