Fort Snelling Round Tower edit

File:Fort Snelling Round Tower large.JPG

Fort Snelling's round tower, the one surviving piece of the original fort, in June of 2004. The flag is at half-mast because of the recent death of former President Ronald Reagan.

Wahkeenah created this photo, which appears in the following: Fort Snelling, Minnesota, Fort Snelling State Park, and List of Minnesota state parks. I'm struck by its haunting beauty, and think it could be a featured image.

While I certainly like this one, I fear it won't get nominated because of size. Perhaps if Wahkeenah has a larger copy lying around...--Lewk_of_S e rthic _contrib ^talk 01:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I asked, and he obliged. This is the larger version. Jonathunder 01:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded the full-sized and uncropped image. Whether the slice of pavement in the foreground detracts from it is up to you all to decide. If you think so, let me know, and I'll slice it out. Wahkeenah 01:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would crop out the pavement, and the darker (shadowed?) grass in the foreground. Too bad the flag was half-staff - I think it would look better fully raised. — Zaui (talk) 16:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could always go back and try again, once things are green again... about June or so. Wahkeenah 17:11, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
