I met a client Downtown at the Circle briefly and was sitting afterwards in my car which was parked on Market Street directly facing the Monument in the very first spot with an unobstructed view. There was plenty of time left on the meter and as comfortable a place as any to finish a cup from Starbucks I had just gotten. It was entertaining watching the diverse activity that the Circle attracts. Small groups of tourists taking photos, people riding in horse drawn carriages, Execs in 3-piece suits on cell phones, people sitting on the steps eating lunch, delivery boys on bikes, street beggars, vendors selling hot dogs on the corner, small groups of people milling about with name tags that looked like they were on break from a convention of some sort, etc, etc. The Circle definitely has the draw. Eventually the Monument itself drew me in too. You know, you can walk or drive around it a million times and not notice things there. Like this scene above on the west face. Zoom lenses are pretty useful for capturing things that go unnoticed usually.
