Postcard from Washington, DC: Deck the halls II

Somehow, I neglected to show the actual decked halls from DC's Union Station yesterday. Here they are!

To end my work travels, sunset glow at the capitol and GIANT wreath in the halls outside Union Station.

The Washington Monument (the color change one-third up occurred after a 23-year halt in construction)...

The Internal Revenue Service (it's tax season) and moving Vietnam Memorial.

Postcard from Washington, DC: Memorial scenes

Returning to DC, scenes at the Lincoln Memorial. Overheard (one teenage boy, in awe, to another): "Oh man, this is where Martin Luther King said I Have a Dream!"

Nice to see teens in awe over social history.

Back by the Capitol, a sudden Hitchcock moment! I shot blindly (camera screen glare), hoping for the best.

I was in Washington, DC for work not long ago and had a free hour (yay!), so relished the freedom to roam. I thought I'd share some DC shots in coming days.
