4/30 Moment of Zen: Lincoln, Surprised

Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the figure of Lincoln inside the Lincoln Memorial, made the specific request that the sculpture never be lit from below. However, at George H.W. Bush's inauguration in 1988, held at the Memorial, just this happened, highlighting just how much lighting can affect the way something looks.

Thanks to Gabe and Ben for digging up this picture and to Ruben and Sophie for reminding us.
