The country may be broke, but DC keeps rolling on. Nice shots L. That construction project in pic 49 is where the old convention center use to be. It's a nearly $1 billion dollar undertaking. Somebody's got some bucks.

Thanks for the tour.

dysfunction junction, what's your function?

I really need to spend more time exploring there...

What is this building? I'm sure it's something obvious that I've seen before and should know...

Nice photos. Just yesterday some of the boys from my orphanage were asking me what DC looks like. Would you mind if I saved some of your photos and showed them to them?

Great shots - loved those interiors of the Library of Congress.

I'd never seen this museum before either - looks great.

I love this picture. I am amazed how this area went from 0 to 60 overnight. Or, it seemed overnight.
