PhotoHunt: Pointed

Filed under Photohunt, art, human interest, travel, trivia

I’m late again for PhotoHunt, but what can I do? I am never home on weekends. I just got back from a weekend of beach and sand in Negros. Will post about it later. :D

My entry for this week is a shot I took last year of the Washington Monument in Washington D.C.

 George Wahington monument

It looks small, but it’s really huge when you go near it. It is in fact the world’s tallest stone structure and the world’s tallest obelisk. It is made of marble, sandstone, and granite.

It’s an imposing structure. You wouldn’t miss it. It’s among the first you can see when you go to Washington D.C.
