The snow-capped Shipherd/Stewart memorial rock is covered with a nicely quilted banner announcing inauguration parties in town on January 20, 2009. Photo taken January 19,2009.

November election Obama logo

This photo was taken Tueday, November 4, 2008 of the class of 1898 monument. Views of “change” and “hope” follow.

Sometimes paintings last a long while on the rocks. The November Obama rock is an example of that. Below is a photo taken of the same painting over two months later on January 10, 2009 after a sizeable snowfall in Oberlin. Maybe it will still be there for the inauguration on January 20th.
