An interesting post today, @slowwalker, to see the exceptional beneath the appearance of the ordinary.
The quaint ruins of walls and temples didn't seem quaint to the ancient peoples - to them, they were modern and part of their daily life.
While we may marvel at the huge, hewn stones of a wall, to the ancient Koreans that was simply part of the humdrum scenery of their daily life.
Technology is moving so quickly that in a few short years the phones and cameras we use to take photos and the computers we view and post them on will seem antiquated and 'quaint' as well.
With the advent of autonomous cars, the cityscape so familiar to us will change. Large downtown parking lots and parking garages will disappear.
With each new invention the world about us will subtly change until the photos you posted today will not look 'ordinary' to us, but quaint relics of a bygone time.
It is difficult to stand back and look at your own time and culture as if through the eyes of a stranger - the closest we come to that experience is visiting another country and looking back on our own culture from that point of view.
As I said, an interesting post today, @slowwalker.
