Tower of Silence


As the story goes... Joseph Pulitzer was bothered by the sound of the ocean waves lapping and crashing in front of his summer home in Bar Harbor, Maine. He had local craftsmen build him a "tower of silence" where he could go to sleep when the ocean was "acting up". My house, today, sits next to the site of the former Pulitzer estate. Alas, the only thing left is the remains of the tower's foundation, seen here on my neighbor's property.
