My local newspaper recently had an article on the search for the new Seven Wonders of the World & the website where people can vote for their favorites. You may recall the original list with the Egyptian Pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon & other ancient edifices. All are gone except for the Pyramids. The website proposes forming a new list made of modern marvels, all of which are manmade, as were the old ones. Suggestions range from Stonehenge and Machu Picchu to Angor Wat, the Great Wall of China & the Eiffel Tower. There are 21 to choose from and all are presented with photographs & a brief history.

   At the website www.new7wonders.com      you can tell them what 7 you think ought to be on the final list. You have to register to do this, but be sure to have your choises ready at that point, because you cast your only ballot immediately after registering. The decisions will be announced next year.
