Water Spigot

I photographed this water spigot in Arlington National Cemetary. I often enjoy photographing old, rusty things. I was amused when taking this photo because several passersby were trying desperately to figure out what I was photographing. It must have seemed strange for a guy with a “fancy” camera to be taking a photo of an old spigot when he is standing in the midst of hundreds of tourists all photographing the rows of headstones.
