The past in the future

Fantastic image by Joe Robson of what the Euston Arch could look like, if it were ever to be rebuilt. So imaginative, inspirational, and hopefully, realistic – at least if these people get their way http://www.eustonarch.org/ 

I shaln’t bother with a long explanation here – they have plenty there – but look on the website for pictures of what it looked like before it was torn down, join their facebook group and generally show your support. In a time where humanity and its future tends to be looked upon with such pessimism – even apocalyism – it’s a great reminder of a heroic, optimistic vision of the future, that perhaps some day we’ll recapture.  Here’s a great little video of the suprising resting place of some of the stones.
