Zinc Monument 13

Victorian era grave marker in cast zinc by Monumental Bronze Co. Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. A national registered landmark, founded 1838. The snow was just beginning to fall lightly when I snapped this at Greenwood, Brooklyn on the first day of Spring 2015. As the metal "gravestone" became wet it changed color.
