Photos from Virginia - batch 1

Some fun shots from my recent excursion to Virginia (mixed with a few from D.C. and Maryland). If the world is my canvas, you are the paint.
long-fence
Is this sign really necessary?

more-pillars
U of V has a gorgeous campus. Just don't use the word 'campus' when you are there. They don't like it for some reason that escapes me. Say 'grounds' instead. Got it? Good.

skilift-family
Ski-lifts are so much fun! Especially when you pass random people in mid-air. Do you wave at them? Ignore them? Smile weakly at them? So many choices.

poe's-room
Edgar Allen Poe went to U of V! This is his room! He drank and gambled a lot and ran up a huge debt so he ran away after first year! That's a raven statue by the window!

poster
Not the best title for a show during an intifada.

statue-head
Stone-faced at the Hirshhorn Museum courtyard.

audience
Some people like sitting in dark rooms watching spinning tops. Childhood Chanukah flashback!

flag-raising
Hoisting the flag.

cannon-butterfly
A butterfly rests on an authentic Civil War cannon in The Field of Lost Shoes.

intergalactic-shopper
My sister is stepping into another dimension. Hey, it happens.

bug
A weird bug at the U of V. Even insects need an education.

cadet
A cadet from the Virginia Military Institute. Although VMI and West Point both train cadets, only VMI cadets are permitted to perform in marches with bayonets - this is due to their bravery in battle at The Field of Lost Shoes.

hangers
Ever have trouble finding a hanger in your closet?

mama-leah
A Jewish-Italian neighourhood is a well-fed neighbourhood.

More photos coming soon.
