What do we all think of the new communities features ? So far so good although we will need to see what the etiquette for self cross posting is with the way autovotes work. It is a pity that the author can't cross post the original post when they post it (so it shows up in multiple communities and on their blogs) without it creating multiple posts to the blockchain which can be voted on. I think it will probably evolve that way as at the moment if half your followers are just hanging out in the community and the other half look at their feed then you can't reach them all without cross posting; but will be rewarded twice and likely down voted.
A shot of mine that I took of the Washington Monument. The monument was designed in the simple shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk, was built in honour of George Washington. Constructed between 1848 and 1884 it was the tallest structure in the world at the time of completion, until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in France in 1889. The monument however remains the world's tallest stone structure standing 554 feet 7 11/32 inches (169.046 m) tall.
It has an aluminium apex, which at the time of casting was the largest piece of aluminium in the world with Aluminium being relatively unknown having a value similar to silver. The slight change in shading of the marble at 46m (150ft) came from a halt in construction between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the civil war with construction eventually resuming from a different source of stone. National Mall, Washington DC, United States of America.
I took this shot with a Canon EOS 6D and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II prime at ISO 100, f/22 and 1s exposure time. You can always click on my shots and see them larger.
