a pyramid, a tool shed, and a bike rack --  companions that withstood the test of time
giza

not your typical pyramid picture i like this one because you usually don't see tool sheds and bike racks in front of the pyramids...  sorry if i've spoiled anyone's view of an unblemished egypt.

the bike rack vs the pyramid
giza

the battle is set for supremacy
who can stand the test of time? 
who can stand up a bike? and make it secure?
who cares?
if a bike is unlocked in the desert, but there's no one around to steal it, is it safe?
if it falls over, does it make a sound?
