Thank you, you are so kind. I used my wife's Canon Powershot to take this picture. This was the picture that convinced her to get me an Canon EOS SLR Rebel X-SI. That's what I used to take the three cactus Chihully that you saw on page 21 of this thread.
One of my dreams someday is to do this for a living. But, There are a lot of good / great photographers out there that do this for a living, maybe I should stick to coaching hockey.

I think making a living at photography is probably a lot more difficult than it may appear on the surface. Personally, I'd rather keep it as a hobby with no deadline pressures, no one telling me what kind of shots to take and so on. If I tried to do it as a job, it might not be as fun or interesting to me any more. That's not to say that I wouldn't like to do something profitable with a few of my photo or photo art, though! Just too lazy to try for now.
Here's a shot of the new main plaza in Pittillal, Mexico. The took all the character out of it when they put up this concrete slab with an underground parking garage that no one uses. I do like the interesting shadows created here, though.
I can't believe they're allowing people up on the Tower of Pisa. They sure weren't when I was there!
The suburb next to mine when I lived in the Chicago area had a YMCA called The Leaning Tower YMCA and had a pretty darn good replica of the original. I'll see if I can't dig out a photo of it and post it so you can compare.
To give scale to this it's 100 plus feet wide and all most 40 feet tall. 1 of 2 crawlers at the Space Center that carry the Shuttle to the launch pad....each link weight is approximately 1,400 pounds Their is 88 links per track and 8 total tracks 2 tracks on each corner.
