Peaking out behind the display of flowers, this structure can be seen throughout the city. Built to honor George Washington, the United States' first president, the 555-foot marble obelisk towers above all monuments for the past 136 years.
One of my favourite Canadian artist, Claude Theberge, featured umbrellas prominently in his work. I still love his stuff and maybe just maybe that was the inspiration for this. Well that, and the great display in SLC.
Travel definitely has gone thru many changes over the past 100 year. Heck, over the last 20 years. I will be supporting this industry as long as it will have been, and as long as my legs hold up!
