Nice. The religious architecture tour of DC is a lot of fun, even if you're not religious. Cool that you stopped at the mosque. Next time be sure to add the Franciscan Monastery in Brookland and the 6th and Eye synagogue.

Also good job stopping at Monocacy. Most people miss that one.

I had loads more churches to go check out but just didn't have the time, I'll be sure to go to those places next time though.

Excellent subject + Excellent photographer + Excellent equipment = First class photo thread. This is really great work Photolith. As a fan of symmetry, I appreciate a lot your work with regards to that. Similar to you, I also have a love for history and architecture. This is the kind of photography I aspire to achieve. Bravo.

Nice set of photos of my birth city.

I don't think you can do that anymore without loads of permission unfortunately.

You may want try 16th NW. There are many places of worship from the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood going south.

Thanks for stopping in Frederick.

You just have to get an LOC library card, which isn't really any more difficult to get than any library card anywhere. I have one.

That's not widely advertised to tourists, to prevent tourists from overrunning the library. But you just have to walk to the building next door and register. It takes maybe 20 minutes.

The aeronautical and space museum out there is probably the coolest in the West (thus most likely in the world). Cause it's also in the central and most official location of the US feds.

I saw it twice for myself. It's not really huge since mankind hasn't done anything much in that matter yet, but quite intense, very well laid out and informative. Some legendary machines are exposed in there. Even here in France, we don't have anything that significant in that respect. Yet the related industry's now pretty big here too, but it's been widely decentralized (very strange fact given the French customs), and heavily based in Toulouse that doesn't own such a museum to inform the public yet.

Seeing the Enola Gay and the all the space flight history was one of the coolest and most moving things I've ever seen in a museum.
