New Orleans | Louisiana | USA

 

The Benjamin Franklin Monument on Camp Street in New Orleans is a bronze statue of the famous American statesman, inventor, and diplomat, who was also one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The statue was sculpted by Hiram Powers, a renowned American neoclassical artist, and was unveiled in 1872. It is located in Lafayette Square, a historic park in the Central Business District, near the former City Hall of New Orleans, now known as Gallier Hall.

 

The statue was a gift from the School Board of New Orleans, who wanted to honor Franklin’s contributions to education, science, and civic life. Franklin was also a prominent supporter of the French-American alliance during the American Revolution, and a friend of the Marquis de Lafayette, after whom the park is named.

Creo que carece de objeto repetir lo que hizo con su vida este gigante de la historia universal. Todos los honores que recibió en vida, pues fue profeta en su tirra cuando aún vivía, todos los que vinieron después de su muerte y los que seguirán llegando ya están escritos. Por eso, me remito a mostrar estas fotos solamente...

Channelling Benjamin Franklin

This is Old City Hall. Also, the site of the first Public School (Boston Latin School), which is still in operation in the Fenway neigborhood.

Idiotarod took place in New York City January 28, 2006. Basically, a bunch of people dress funny and push shopping carts around in a race of speed, style, and cunning.

Outside Independence Hall stands the magnificent statue of Commodore John Barry, the real father of the American Navy. From the son of a poor Irish farmer, Barry eventually became senior commander of the entire United States fleet.
