I am training some new Tensorflow texture transfer ML models. Reflecting my view of the world right now I am going a little less dark that I have historically, and will be focusing in on the California ideology--as this is where my head is at right now. I am training the ML models using these two images, which i will then apply to other photos I've taken.

Mystery of why Roman buildings have survived so long has been unraveled, scientists say
"...white chunks in the concrete, referred to as lime clasts, gave the concrete the ability to heal cracks that formed over time. The white chunks previously had been overlooked as evidence of sloppy mixing or poor-quality raw material."
"The new finding could help make manufacturing today's concrete more sustainable, potentially shaking up society as the Romans once did."
