Photo of the Week: The Midnight Ride
Posted by Adrienne on April 18, 2012 under Photos | 2 Comments
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

We’re having some technical problems with constructing new Photo of the Week installments, so we’re going on hiatus for the next week or so. Look for more photos in two weeks’ time!
Photo of the Week: Stairway to…

Happy Leap Day! February 29th is always an odd day, so here’s an odd photo to go with it:

| From Annapolis and Dover |
The Annapolis State House is the seat of government in Maryland. It contains the staircase above, which goes to nowhere. It used to lead up into the dome, but renovations to the oldest capitol building still in use made it obsolete. For some reason, they decided to keep it around even after covering the top with a new ceiling. We thought it was pretty funny.
And no, it’s blocked off at the bottom too, so we didn’t try climbing it.

The steeple was built by Sir Christopher Wren, following the Great Fire of 1666. It is the only part of the church that is still intact.
