Thomas Jefferson at Merchants Square, Williamsburg, Virginia


Thomas Jefferson sits pensively working on important papers - perhaps the Declaration of Independence - at Merchants Square in Colonial Williamsburg.  The statue is a favorite photo spot for adults and a source of amusement for children while enjoying some unique shopping just walking distance from the Colonial district.

This pic was taken a couple of weeks ago just after a dusting of snow - this week we have been having days hitting the in the 70's - yea!

  1. He appears to be distracted from his work by something going on or maybe he's just posing for you! I like the way the statue looks in the snow.

  3. Agree with him, that many times it takes a "look into the far away emptyness" to be able to write of content.

    Nice getting to know this area of yours. Please have a wonderful weekend.

  4. I wonder how much work he got done while he was covered in several feet of snow.
