Monticello in 1943





This view of Monticello was taken by John Collier in April of 1943

Monticello in 2010

TGIF and the last day of my working week.  Today I will attempt to post a photo from Flickr while simultaneously abiding by photoposting ettiquette!

If I ever travel to the USA, one place I would really love to visit is Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.  Jefferson was an avid reader and book-buyer who bequeathed his collection to the American nation.  It became the foundation collection of the Library of Congress.

Monticello is a beautiful building.  There are many current photos of it which may be viewed on Flickr. This is one of my favourites.
