Stonehenge, high above the Columbia River...

This is a full-size replica of Stonehenge, built starting in 1918, about 100 miles east of Portland.  It was America's first monument to the dead of WWI

Interesting. I think the jury is still out on what the original Stonehenge commemorates.

He caído por aquí como por casualidad. Me gusta como miras y cómo construyes. Yo me defino como fotógrafo de monocromo, pero de cualquier manera, me gustan tus fotos. Abrazo.
PD: Con tu permiso pasaré por aquí a menudo.

We have yet to get to it to see it, but plan to go! Beautiful shot! I didn't know it was a monument to the WWI veterans!
