I was here early as the sun was rising, You can see the heavy shadow towards to bottom of the image. I actually wanted around a bit for two reasons. I wanted the shadow to dip below the cornerstone and second, there as a postal car to the left side that was in thew way.
When the postal clerks moved the car, and the un was up higher, this made the perfect chance to get the photograph. I hop you like it.

I don’t know why, but sometimes its the little things I notice that make me smile. Take for instance the port window (circular window). It makes me ask, why did the architect what a circular window? Anyway, just thought I’d point that one out. Why, you ask? because I’m weird that way.
It is also a delight to see that someone took the time to build out all the displays in the lobby. There are at least four different cases with artifacts and historical items. Fun to see this mini museum in Miamisburg.
