View from the Top

I made it over to the Old Post Office Pavilion after the parade on Sunday, and it’s a pretty cool place to spend a few hours. You can take the elevator tour to the tower top, which is well worth the 15 minute wait — and it’s free, too. There is a little history exhibit at the top, as well as the Bells of Congress on display. But most important is the beautiful view of the city from the open-air tower top. It provides interesting angles of the Capitol Building, Washington Monument as seen above, and much of the urban fabric around the National Mall.

Wow what a view, great shot. I lived in amerrica for 4 years while in college, I regret not visiting washington while I was there even though I was able to see a lot of other places. On the next trip then.

That would be an awesome site for an HDR image.

This is awesome! I can’t wait to see Washington, D.C. when I move to Baltimore this Spring.
