Year of the Scaffolding

You know how the Chinese have the different animals every year? Well, in Europe this is the year of the scaffolding. I can’t name a country that we have been to, starting with Chelsey and I in London that hasn’t had scaffolding. Tower of London, Versailles, Gaudi’s architecture in Barcelona (multiple locations), Barcelona Cathedral , the Coliseum and many more that are being “restored.” That is quotes because some of these places are constantly being cleaned and they never seem to get finished. So when you see pictures that seem a little odd in the way they were taken, it is probably to avoid scaffolding in the photo (this is not always the case and it may just have been a crappie picture!).
