The Halloween season has officially begun, everybody. And I am absolutely enamored with this new statue on Buena Vista Street in DCA. The Headless Horseman is one of a rare few truly iconic legends that America has spawned in its brief, 200-year history. And I think this display does great justice to the character.

Also, as a funny little side note, I first saw this statue at night, and the lights on it are so strong that I thought it was actually green (it’s black).
