An excellent POV and my favorite spot to stand at 2AM with no people and perfect lighting! Great comment about the 'selfie' Dana. Even the spell checker didn't like it!
@danapommet. I wish I had the time to come back to the mall at different times, like during a rain storm, or after a snow storm, or in the middle of the night, and really be able to absorb the significance of all these historic sites.

@jocko500. It was brought to the site in 18 separate pieces Jock!
