Thanks, Williwaw. DHS took away my spray can.

Perfect timing for this thread, as seen in Victoria, BC, last month.

Not a vacation picture, but this is pretty similar to other photos here. Bronx, NYC:

normal people on vacation are looking up, around and pointing at the beautiful things they are seeing.

Surveyors on vacation are looking down, and pointing at shiny objects in the sidewalk. "Look honey! A property corner!"

With all the traveling this time of year, it's a good time to see monuments from other places. These are from Maine.

Back to the original post.

Yes, I have. It appears to be the toe end of a man's shoe.

I actually got away with doing this on my honeymoon 5 years ago!

[USER=321]@J. Penry[/USER] that takes me back only few years.
Can relate to some of those marks.
I actually found a spike complete with tattered pink tape on the ground up on diamond head.
My most valued souvenir of the trip, but did it trip customs up.
Took them ages to even conjure up the courage to open my bag despite my explanation. Not sure what they expected.

We were there for our Anzac day memorial service.
It was an amazing, reverent experience on a 'foreign shore',
The Americans were so respectful, so meaningful. Truly humbling and highly appreciated.
Bit hard to express. Sought of chokes one up. We were made to feel so welcome, genuinely so.

An elevation marker in the sidewalk in Pierre, SD, and brass plate in the business section of Cheyenne, WY.

The American-Australian militaries have long ties. I wonder how many Americans realize Australian troops fought with us in Vietnam?

View of a trig pillar established to monitor the Sydney Opera House. Of course we also see the lovely Sydney Harbor Bridge.

My wife even looks for them now. I'm sure someone has probably posted photos of Disney monuments in the past, but here are some anyway...



"Survey NOW!" I like that!

What are the odds that that sidewalk elevation is on an even 1' contour?

I worked on a project in India (stone monument) and on the layover in Dubai I found the other one.

This at a TVA lake and the "beach" shown is normally under water. Just about dead center you may be able to see the pink flagging on the rebar.
