Washington Monument



This is not your typical Washington Monument. This creation was hatched from the brain of Rudolf Siemering in 1897. You will note the unusual animals that adorn the sculpture's base: these were selected by Siemering to represent the wildlife Washington encountered while in battle. This is hands down the coolest monument I've ever seen and I would sincerely enjoy a scale sized replica for our backyard.
