Wikipedia Description: Discus Thrower (Washington, D.C.)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Discus Thrower is a bronze sculpture in Washington, D.C.
It is a copy of the Discobolus of Myron, located in Edward J. Kelly Park, at 21st Street and Virginia Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. . The architect was Rodolfo Siviero, and the founder was Bruno Bearzi.
It was dedicated on March 1, 1956. It was a gift from the Italian government to commemorate the return of looted art objects, after World War II.

The inscription reads:
(Base of sculpture, east side:)
GLI ITALIANI
AL POPOLO AMERICANIO
28 FEBBRAIO 1956
(Base of sculpture, west side:)
SIGMOM IVSTITIAE RESTITVTAE

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
