a quirky word for Q Day

There at the very top it is: the quoin, or more familiarly the keystone, allowing this couple to walk by with complete confidence that nothing will fall down on them.  He is truly unconcerned, but she is gazing at the top of the arch just to be sure.
This quoin is part of the Grand Rapids Arch by British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy at the Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park.

    Ah yes, the keystone is key! I like your choice for the "Q" day. I think this must have been a difficult one!

    Arches are a bit like ladders to me - fine to observe but not too close.
