Obscure Obelisk

Many cities are adorned with an obelisk. Strangly, Egyptology was a strong influence, even so, at least, this obelisk would have had its origins here. Amusingly, from this popular viewpoint, it is partly obscured by a palm tree, taking us back to the Nile. The evening lux touched the edge of the tiers as they took one ever up to the glorious heights! (This photo doesn't do it justice.)



ancient past and with restraint a sustainable future
