The National Mall

Stepping up from the Smithonian Metro Rail Station and looking right

The Smithonian Castle

At the Hirschhorn Museum of modern art there was a lovely set of large bronzes representing the Chinese zodiak signs

At the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in front of the Capitol Bldg.

Once the house of the people, but now only accessible via countless security measures and mainly reserved for the privileged class - politicians

Moving back toward the Smithonian (West from the Capitol)

The Eastern Entrance of the National Gallery of Art

The sculpture garden fountain

The National Archives

A fascinating stainless steel tree

 

The Washington Memorial, still closed following the earthquake damage

 

 

The new World War 2 Memorial

 

 

 

 

I used to love the view across the Reflecting Pool from the Lincoln Memorial, but the pool is undergoing major restoration and won't be filled with water for some time to come.

 

A house with a view. This is the view from the White House toward the Washington and Jefferson Memorials
