Continental Army Brigadier General Hugh Mercer Monument - Mercer led a brigade during the Battle of Princeton. Although famed medic Benjamin Rush tended to Mercer’s seven bayonet wounds, he could not save his medical colleague and fellow Patriot.

a shot taken on a lousy day, but the icon should be obvious....
not obvious enough?
Here's a wider shot... Got it?
how about a shot on a nice sunny day?
still not certain what this is?
Here's a look at the shadow....
okay, no question that you've figured it out now, so here's an unambiguous photo of it...

Great thread Drillium Dude .....Here are a few from my last trip to China with my architecture students from UCLA. A great collection of architecture by "internationally "renowned architects and designers. We rent a few of the villas at the end of our 2 week architectural visit.
If interested, there is a link at the bottom with all of the houses listed at the commune. You can see how close they are to the Great Wall in the background of the first picture (upper left)....ENJOY!

Bamboo House....Kengo Kuma
Cantilever House..... Antonio Ochoa
See and See House.....Shui Guan
Suitcase House.....Gary Chang
Best, Ben
BTW, Electric was all they had.

Very nice - drawbridges are definitely one of the iconic sights 'round Holland. Any chance of a windmill sighting...?
