Bunker Hill Monument

Here is the color version of yesterday’s subject. It is the Bunker Hill Monument, which commemorates one of the first battles of our Revolutionary War. I took these sunrise shots earlier this year and am just now getting around to showing them.

Wow! That is so beautiful.
U know Chris in Egypt we have this same building from the time of the pharoes it is called(masallah).
We have more than one in Luxor and Aswan.
Is there any drawings on this stone in the photos.
Ours has heroglophic language on it… some birds… drawings…
Great post indeed!! 😊

Thank you, Soheir. I recall seeing a masallah in Paris. It came from Luxor and had heroglophic writing on it. This is American made with local stone. It may have a little writing in English at the bottom but nothing like Egyptian masallahs. We got good ideas for design from your people. Cheers

The color versions are very good. I like them better than the monochromes.

Just as stunning as the BW ones! Love how the foliage of the trees encircle the obelisk!

Thank you. The monument is so tall that it is a challenge to make good images. Cheers
