christmas at the monument
Christmas lights strung from a 200-year-old statue hover somewhere between vulgar and pretty. Tonight I'm voting for pretty.
This photo was taken on December 9, 2006 in Downtown, Baltimore, MD, US, using a Nikon D200.

This has great lines. From the thumbnail it looked like a waterfall. I like the way the fenceposts point towards the top.
