Honestly thinking about it now I took it's beauty for granted. To me it was just a normal feature of our town. Looking back it was an incredible feat of skill and an amazing work of art.

I honestly wish I had a picture.

I mean for better or for worse we “tune out” and normalize stuff through repeated exposure, I think it’s cool that you saw it enough for it to be a part of that process

If I were in your shoes I’d probably see this as bitter sweet because even though it’s gone you can now appreciate it once more
