DC Northeast Boundary Stone 8
Originally uploaded by zhurnaly.
Despite my proclamations that I am a romantic, that I am naiive and find beauty in the world, very few things make my jaw drop open in pure, unadulterated amazement. This did. "In 1791-92 Andrew Ellicott and the free African-American Benjamin Banneker surveyed the border of the District with both Virginia and Maryland, placing boundary stones at every mile point; many of these still stand." -From wikipedia.
If there were any doubt in my mind that DC is the place for me, this has assuaged it. Thank you zhurnaly.
