San Jacinto Monument, Texas

The San Jacinto Monument is dedicated "to Heroes of the Battle of San Jacinto and all others who
contributed to the independence of Texas." The monument is a 570-foot limestone shaft topped by a
34-foot, 220-ton star symbolizing the Lone Star Republic. The building incorporates a number of
innovative engineering features not common during the 1936 - 1939 period of its construction.
In 1992, this technology was recognized with the prestigious designation of State and National
Historic Structure by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Criteria for these awards include
significant contributions to state and national heritage and to the civil engineering profession.
The building is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's tallest stone column
memorial.

Never forget a small torch while taking photos in the dark, Win !!!

Leider wagte ich mich näher an das Wasser da ich keine Taschenlampe bei mir hatte. So wurde die Spiegelung unvollständig. In dieser Nachbarschaft ist ein herrliches "Seafood Restaurant" Bei dem Schmauß formulierte ich meine Absicht dieses Thema zu knipsen. Ich danke Euch!!!
