Seeing in all directions

We ran across this unusual lamp post in Georgetown, where Tim reminded me we had seen it before when we were looking for a place to live, like 30 years ago or so. Quite frankly, I’m glad we didn’t move to Georgetown – it’s way too crowded and commercial – but it was nice to see the lamp post again. That appears to be the Watergate Hotel in the distance, infamous from the Nixon scandal.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

you must have had a sense of deja vu seeing this lampost with all of the mirrors on it and still intact, Helen.V!!

I've never seen anything like this before...quite surprising! V

I'm trying to spot you. I figure you should be visible in one or more of those mirrors. Maybe the white vehicle?

It’s amazing it is still there. I love all the different POVs. V

These mirrors are enough to make you lose your head.

Excellent! A post for narcissic persons... :-)

That's one confusing set of mirrors.

This is a wonderful installation near Tricky Dicky's hang out. You've got to look in every corner to find the truth.

Interesting place for narcissists…. Great finf Helen. ~V
globalgadabout29-Jul-2022 18:41
it offers almost too much information, a bit confusing, and all the more fun for that...Tricky Dick might have liked it though, as he faced revelations from so many angles..

Bizarre! Hard to get lost with all those mirrors! VV~

Very interesting. I have to believe it's an art piece though it may have some functionality.

Looks like they've got that area covered from all angles! I like the historical looking aspects of the lamp post. V

You sure can't hind around the corner there - just like Nixon couldn't hide in the end.
