Thanks, Ann and Rick. This rough-hewn stone wall is located on the hill above the Dartmouth campus, just a few feet from where the statue of Robert Frost (one of the College's most famous alums) is now located. It is part of Bartlett Tower, built by students in the 19th century to commemorate the "Lone Pine" under which the school was said to have been founded, after the tree itself died.
I don't know exactly what I like about this stone pattern, but it fits in well in its setting, and seems to epitomize the North Woods and the "Granite of New Hampshire" that surround the college. Yes, Ann, I used "Stonewall" instead of "Stone Wall" as an offhand reference to the famous Stonewall Inn in the Village. What I always found so interesting about the police raids and the following demonstrations is that the Inn itself was owned by the Genovese crime family. That fact resonates with the "Johnnycakes" episode of the Sopranos. The open homophobia of organized crime soldiers has always seemed to be more for appearance sake than anything else, Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 9:01 AM, ann sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: > I expected a shot on Christopher street ... > > Nice geology - I presume this is somewhere in Robert Frost land > > ann > > > > On 5/10/2016 12:27 AM, Daniel J.
