Two classical columns adorn an entrance to Valley Forge National Park, and here's one of them, taken while the sun was setting.

Obviously evocative of a Roman legion standard, I'd say. [Also the mace.] More evidence that Classical values are deeply rooted in the country's history. Traditional, even?

Here's a tree which appears to be losing the battle against fungus. Or maybe it's a fungus which is winning the battle against a tree....

The natural lesson might even apply to politics; if the parasites win, the parasites and the host will both die.

Yesterday's sunset at Valley Forge was worth a shot too.

As the expression goes, "Red at night, sailor's delight!" It works most of the time.

That's why today was a beautiful, balmy 56 degrees!
