Answer to Quiz #2: the Washington Monument

When I offered a contest prize (to the 1st quiz) of one top shelf margarita, redeemable in any of three Texas cities, I began to see more visitors to my blog!

In future, I may need to offer other inducements to keep up traffic — but not every time. That would be too predictable, not to mention hard on the reputation if readers get the impression I’m bribing people to hang out in bars with me.

Most of the geographic shots you see on this site will be my own, of places I’ve been. I’ve spent a lot of time at this place also, but none of my shots were as interesting. It’s taken from the Flickr Creative Commons collection and has been radically cropped to fit the header. Once someone correctly answers the question, I’ll insert the original photo into this post as well as the photographer’s name for full attribution.

    Obviously it’s the Washington Monument in D.C. — CJ

    Hey, CJ. Thanks for the prompt turn-around! You’re right of course — tho I tried to crop it sufficiently not to be too obvious. How’d you find the blog? AND are you on Twitter?

    No prize this time, but there may be one again soon. Appreciate your visit — keep in touch.

    Like the contrast of dark and light of night & Wash monument with the flags as punctuation.

    Just a bit of trivia for you. Wash DC isn’t the first city to memorialize the first prez. Another city claims that right. Wanna guess which one?

    Baltimore?
