After a couple of hours walking, I would have loved to step in for a soft drink :-) - but a cold beer would have been better!
Atlas once tried to trick Heracles into standing in for him to hold up the Celestial orb from crushing the earth; however, when his trickery failed Atlas again continued his cursed duty.
Atlas never shrugged.
One wonders why. Was it a failure of story-telling imagination? Was the Titan controlled like a puppet and had no free will in the matter? Or was it the strong drive of obligation, of duty, that drove him not to shrug the burden off his shoulders? Someone had to prevent the world from being crushed. The lot had fallen on Atlas–forced on him when he lost to Zeus–unless Atlas could get someone to succeed him.
In contrast, modern novelist Ayn Rand argues in her book Atlas Shrugged that industrial titans dump their curse. Screw it. Flee from government oversight to the freedom in the gulch of their fellow Titans. Let the world be crushed. In that way, the gods and man will eventually appreciate how much they needed the Titan.
That is not the path that Atlas took.
This small southern Arizona town has amazing and colorful wall art ...this was on another wall that has a real "eye popper"...

The Olympic mountains have many little creeks hidden by moss covered forest floors. This creek can be spotted near the much more famous falls of Sol Duc.

Fremont Street is a street in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada that is among the most famous streets in the Las Vegas Valley besides the Las Vegas Strip. Named in honor of explorer John Charles Frémont and located in the heart of the downtown casino corridor, Fremont Street is or was the address for many famous casinos such as Binion's Horseshoe, Eldorado Club, Fremont Hotel and Casino, Golden Gate Hotel and Casino, Golden Nugget, Four Queens, The Mint, and the Pioneer Club. Prior to the construction of the Fremont Street Experience, the western end of Fremont Street was the representative scene for Las Vegas that was included in virtually every television show and movie that wanted to depict the glittery lights of Las Vegas. The abundance of neon signs, like cowboy Vegas Vic, earned the street the nickname of "Glitter Gulch". Fremont Street is designated between Main Street and Sahara Avenue in a northwest–southeast direction, although auto traffic actually begins at Las Vegas Boulevard. At Sahara, it leaves Las Vegas proper and continues as Boulder Highway. Fremont Street formerly carried several national highways, including U.S. Route 93 (US 93), US 95, and US 466. US 93 and US 95 have been rerouted along Interstate 515, while US 466 has been decommissioned. The section of Fremont Street east of the Fremont East District is currently designated Nevada State Route 582. Fremont Street dates back to 1905, when Las Vegas itself was founded. Fremont Street was the first paved street in Las Vegas in 1925 and received the city's first traffic light in 1931. Fremont Street also carried the shields of U.S. Route 93 (US 93), US 95, and US 466 before the construction of the interstates. While gambling was well established prior to being legalized, the Northern Club in 1931 received one of the first 6 gambling licenses issued in Nevada and the first one for Fremont Street. Glitter Gulch was closed to vehicle traffic in September, 1994 to begin construction on the Fremont Street Experience.

capturing this scene was like finding poetry in everyday shapes. the stark shadows against the burnt orange wall create a beautiful play of lines, turning something as simple as a wall into an abstract composition. there’s a sense of stillness here, yet the lines seem to reach across the frame with purpose, as if they’re telling their own story in light and shadow. this minimalist framing draws attention to the raw textures and geometry, giving an almost architectural feel to an ordinary setting. simplicity meets complexity in a moment that might otherwise go unnoticed, revealing the art in mundane details.
Moai statues are the iconic monolithic figures of Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a Chilean territory in the Pacific. This small wooden statue was a bought from a gift shop in Santiago in 2023.
This is another sight that caught my eye while walking in Rome. This Charlie Chaplin eating a Nike sneaker. Googling Nemea in Furs finds this image but I have yet to find out anything more.
Following on Leonora's informative comment, the clip showing the scene is easily found on line Extra information about that movie is below.
According to Biography, Chaplin was known to be a demanding perfectionist. Attention to detail, per PBS, was incredibly important to the actor and filmmaker. "The Gold Rush" displays just how dedicated Chaplin was to his craft. According to Smithsonian Magazine, he hired 600 extras to film a scene that involved climbing a mountain pass.There's also the iconic shoe-eating scene. In the film, the lone prospector decides to eat a boiled shoe (via The Criterion Collection). He shares the shoe with Big Jim McKay, played by Mack Swain .
The Donner Summit Historical Society explains that the prop was made of licorice by an English company. To get the scene just as he wanted, Chaplin did 63 takes in three days. This resulted in him being hospitalized for insulin shock. Chaplin was also forced to get his stomach pumped. Moreover, biographer David Robinson stated that both Chaplin and Swain suffered "inconvenient laxative effects" (via Mental Floss).
