Monticello, the hilltop house Thomas Jefferson designed and spent much of his life building near Charlottesville, Virginia, is shown here doubled in the still water of a pond below it. The reflection is the detail that sets this view apart from the usual front-on shots of the west facade. Jefferson began work on the house in 1768 and kept revising it for decades, so the building reflects his long interest in architecture and design. Visitors today can tour the house and its gardens, which are maintained as a museum and a working piece of his plantation landscape.
