Snow at Cape Henry

Snow at Cape Henry

A number of years ago I was working at Langley AFB when a rare snow storm blew through the area. I drove down to Fort Story to catch pictures of the Cape Henry Lighthouses in the snow. The old light was built in 1792, after fears arose that is was about to fall down it was replaced in 1881 by the new cast iron tower that is still in operation today. The old tower is still standing and is open to tours.

The Coliseum

The Coliseum

This is a view of the Coliseum that isn't seen that often. You can see that two of the outer walls are missing. The Romans tended to recycle their antiquities. Tons of marble were removed from the Coliseum and other monuments to build The Vatican City. During World War II, Muss0lini's war machine removed all the iron supports to recycle them into weapons.

This painting was a gift to a friend.
