Commonplacebook.com is the personal website of Steph Mineart. When I was a kid, I used to get in trouble all the time for talking too much, and I got yelled at for daydreaming in class all the time, too. Thirty-some years later, not much has changed.
Not sure whether I find this to be morbid or fascinating: Find a Grave: a website that lists gravesites and burial information for millions of people.
Of course I immediately searched for my families names. My grandfather on my mom's side isn't listed, but there are some others that are probably relatives from her site of the family, because they're buried in Rock Island, Illinois.
Giant horses, enormous cows, men that tower over the skyline... some of them are permanent fiberglass structures, some temporary inflatables, almost all of them are advertisments for a business. They're cool, and I take pictures of them.
My "Big Things" photos:
