I was here early as the sun was rising, You can see the heavy shadow towards to bottom of the image. I actually wanted around a bit for two reasons. I wanted the shadow to dip below the cornerstone and second, there as a postal car to the left side that was in thew way.
When the postal clerks moved the car, and the un was up higher, this made the perfect chance to get the photograph. I hop you like it.
