Every monument lures my gaze skyward. But curiosity tugs me back to earth. What I wouldn't give to rewind to their beginnings… to see the birth of this masterpiece; that moment when the wildly senseless became tangible and true. When one vibrant vision overcame a chorus of doubt and elegance emerged from grains of golden sand.

Passion spun from purpose. A flight of fancy that took flawless form. I whisper thanks to the heroes that shaped history with their hands.
