I explored Winchester, Virginia and found a lovely, interesting town. The trees lining my route downtown pulsed. The wind, sun, and newborn leaves fluoresced a joyful, verdant glow.
Central pedestrian walk - in the brickwork is either a solar calendar or a solar clock, which uses a church steeple's shadow as a pointer:
The town's library was breath-taking:
The glass floor is translucent and illuminated from the floor below.
The library was veined with wrought-iron, functioning, spiral staircases.
Along the pedestrian mall sat a monument to the area's Confederate soldiers.
My friend Josh Mullen told me now that he lives in North Carolina, it is fascinating to hear and learn about the War of Northern Aggression from southerners and I could not agree more. The change is significant - more reverent with less emphasis on the machinations of the enterprise than I am used to.
And a beautiful, Masonic door.
Great pictures, great description, great library!We are looking forward to Day Twenty-Five.
