I wanted to get some shots of areas of DC I haven't really covered a lot. There are a couple of the regular touristy areas here, but mostly these pics will be of sights regularly unseen on the average visit. |
| The National City Christian Church with the Luther Place Memorial Church in the background. DC is full of great old churches. |
 |
| Case in point, this shot was taken from the Reagan National Airport Metro platform. The National Cathedral dominates the horizon, yet it is actually almost 8 miles away!!! (Here's more photos from the National Cathedral, http://so-i-think-im-a-photographer-now.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-trip-through-washington-national.html) |
 |
| Control Tower at Reagan. These guys have gotten me safely home many times! |
 |
| You can stand on the Metro platform and get a great view of planes landing. |
 |
| Smithsonian Castle. One of the oldest structures on the Mall. |
 |
| Looking East on Constitution from 14th. EPA, IRS and DOJ in the distance. |
 |
| On 13th NW between K and L is the DC Firehouse, home of Engine 16. |
 |
| I've put up some shots of these call boxes in the past, but I've never seen one in this condition. These were what the police and firemen used to call their respective stations years ago before radios. There are still remnants all throughout the city. |
