Tribute In Stone

A different POV on this awesome memorial!
The monument was designed by civil engineer Captain Charles H. Dimmock (b. 1831 d. 1873) of the former Confederate Army. The pyramid was erected from granite stones pulled from the nearby James River. It was built by labor from the nearby State Penitentiary. The granite blocks were cut unevenly and irregularly, many with drill holes clearly visible. The result is a quality that renders this monument distinct and reinforces its imposing presence of the monument as a dedication to the Confederate dead.

[quote=Wizz]Beautiful shot and perspective. I wish it was "store original" so I could see the detail. Looks like HDR and wide angle lens stopped down for great DOF. Thanks for posting, David
