Except for the background, this dim-lit scene probably hasn't changed much since London was capital of America. (This building still retains 1700s cannonball damage).
cieldequimper - haha, love the shot of creativity - thank you! My imagination sometimes runs wild on those evening strolls, I admit :)
Paul - I like that, yes sometimes all it takes is a bit of imagination...
PerthDailyPhoto - thank you! Actually, there's a mystery side door through the archway - the only one I have never seen open. I'm curious about what's behind it! (Perhaps just a mundane broom closet :)
Tanya - thank you! :)
EG CameraGirl - thanks! It was only after someone pointed that out to me...I realized how odd/true it was :)
How wonderful all the history that surrounds you in Princeton! From the link you posted, I read "From July to October 1783, Princeton was the capital of the early United States of America" - amazing! Thank you (again) for another interesting history lesson ;)

A lovely atmopshere it evokes too, along with so much history.
Amazing. Thanks for the great imagery.

Chrissy, Adele, Catherine - thanks so much for your sweet comments!
@Catherine, this country has had more capitals than centuries of existence, haha! I remember reading that too, and found it fascinating. :)
Interesting post and info. Thank you for sharing! Have a great weekend!
