London Bridge, Lake Havasu City, Arizona

In 1962, London Bridge was falling down. Built in 1831, the bridge couldn't handle the ever-increasing flow of traffic across the Thames River. The British government decided to put the bridge up for sale, and Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, submitted the winning bid of $2, 460, 000.
The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10, 000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on September 23, 1968, with a ceremony including the Lord Mayor of London, who laid the cornerstone. On October 10, 1971, the bridge was dedicated

Yosemite Valley Viewpoint

The natural beauty of Yosemite is so incredible that it inspired an entire 19th-century conservation movement, which resulted in the valleya??s protection as a national park in 1890. Naturalists led by John Muir and artists like photographer Ansel Adams found inspiration for their life's work here. First-time visitors to Yosemite National Park won't want to miss any of the following heart-stopping vistas, all easily accessible from paved roads throughout the park. As you leave Yosemite Valley, perhaps for a day trip down to the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias near Wawona or a scenic drive up to Glacier Point or Tioga Pass, be sure to stop off at this roadside lookout. Here at the Valley view you'll see a beautiful portrait of the Merced River (something that's missing from Tunnel View), flanked by massive El Capitan on the left and the skyscraping twin Cathedral Rocks and Spires. Look for this viewpoint along one-way Northside Drive, before the Pohono Bridge. The Valley is the main attraction in the park for the majority of visitors, and a bustling hub of activity during tourist season in the summer months

Vintage Sewing Machine

Used to decorate indoor or outdoor environments, the old sewing machines are a vintage icon. The retro image of these pieces can be associated with the cactus, because they are perennial, and the rustic wood, forming a harmonious composition
