The District
Got back to Kentucky last night after an 8 hour drive from D.C. Went to visit some friends and see the sights…again. I think this makes three visits in the past two years. But there was still plenty to see, including the White House and a private tour of the Capitol Building.
For a city, D.C. has a surprising number of parks and greenery in general. I’d like to go back sometime and focus a little more on that side than the stone. In particular Theodore Roosevelt Island and some of the jogging trails around it.
This was the first trip I’ve taken with my new camera, which I love. I tried to capture a little stone, a little nature, and a little…color.
The Jefferson Memorial, one of the more aesthetically pleasing of the monuments. Reminds me of Monticello, which I can only imagine is intentional.
Tulips, which threaten to displace humans as the city’s dominant population.
Lightsaber Dude. I don’t know what this guy’s deal was, but he kept hanging around the World War II memorial. “These are not the monuments you are looking for.”
