Retro Great!

If you like eclectic, unique, vintage things of interest, then this is the site for you!

Here are a couple of snippets with links from the site that I liked...

With the holidays approaching rapidly, I know we are all looking for ways to 

keep our waist lines in check....maybe something our ancestors used?

Vintage Exercise Machines

They look more like machines of torture, but what will future generations think 

of our stair stepper, elliptical, recumbant bikes...

Also, a perfect retro castle construction...

Built in France by masons using the original medieval tools and methods,

very cool and beautiful.  Check the site for the complete story and more pics..

Chauvet Cave Art

Went to see Werner Herzog's movie today in 3D, CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS,

it was fantastic (like his other films).  These selected photos are from Google images 

and there are alot of links with other photos on that same page.

Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave

"Chauvet Cave in the valley of the Ardèche River in France is filled with paintings, engravings and drawings created more than 30 000 years ago, of cave lions, mammoths, rhinos, bison, cave bears and horses. It contains the earliest known cave paintings, as well as other evidence of Upper Paleolithic life. It is situated on a limestone cliff above the former bed of the Ardèche River. The cave was first explored on December 18, 1994. As well as the paintings they discovered fossilised remains, prints, and markings from a variety of animals, some of which are now extinct."

We enjoyed his other films also (i.e. Grizzly Man, Encounters at the End of the World, Rescue Dawn)
