Back End of DC

Back Alleys of Captiol Hill tour... oh, i have dozens of pictures but they'll only be interesting to people who like architecture and i intend to turn some of them into paintings. Very interesting tour though - all about life in DC ages ago - rich ppl on the road, poor in the alleys, etc. Included seeing a few famous ppls' houses, including frederick douglas. Ended at east city market. Met a fellow kiwi. Was invited to allblacks private party. Had to say no. Will never totally recover. But got a free necklace from the kiwi girl.

up close and personal with the washington monument.
the world war two memorial. they really like fountains in DC
Me and the lincoln memorial in the background, beside the lake that jenny runs through to meet forrest in forrest gump. Ah... sigh
Reflecting pool, see above for narrative, and washington monument in background.
Oh dear Lord. What has come of the world? I guess free speech gives people the right to parade their ignorance in whatever form they so prefer. Rats.
Lincoln memorial. I had all these great ideas of shaking his hand or sitting in his lap. but no can do. Nice scaffolding though.
View from lincoln memorial - reflecting pool, washington monument and way in the distance, beyond monument is the capital building. White house is in the bushes on the left, slightly further than the monument.
