Challenge: Letter "X" 11/21-11/24

Seems we have quickly reached the tail end of the ABC's. The letter "X" may not be as difficult as one might initially think. I think we could also allow "ex" . There are a lot of naturally occurring "X"s - never realized it until I started looking with "ABC eyes". I'll be your host and try my best to comment on your posts. Can't wait to see the creative things you all come up with.
Lots of Xs in this bridge
Xs in the covered bridge with hubby as an "O" (as in XO for hug and kiss)
Xs in the air as an entrance to Botanical Gardens of Coastal Maine

Looks like an Xray (a filter in my PP program)

Never know where you'll see "X"

Nice series to get the X challenge started here. You beat me to the punch but I'll chime in here anywhere I can. I found a few to share right away...
These slanting sticks in Denver appear to make X's from my camera's point of view.

Challenge Letter "X": Xian, China - one of the country's oldest cities with over 4,000 years of history. A rectangular wall surrounds the city, including a moat. The city is most famous for its terra-cotta warriors and horses, which were buried with the emperor in 210-209 BC to protect him in the afterlife. The figures were discovered in 1974 by local farmers as they were digging a well. The statues of men and the horses are life size. Bronze chariots discovered were made of bronze and were half-size.

p1 Perfect for "X". Read about this in Natl Geo years ago when they were just starting work on it. Amazing and lots of Xs too.

p1 The woman is so beautiful - stark contrast to her surroundings. Thanks, suejay. "X" seems to be used a lot in construction. I believe that's because it is a strong formation. Larry - am I right?
