Annapolis, Maryland. A street scene in the old town which has been there since the 1600's. The old town is like Akaroa on a grander scale, pleasant old streets and plenty of shops selling crafts to souvenirs to ice creams.
The LDS Temple, Washington DC. Very large even for a Temple. Set in a perfect location.
There are many grand buildings in central DC. Here are four. I can't remember what this one is.
The Federal Reserve
Apartments I think.
The US Capitol

The Washington monument was something that I have seen many times on movies and TV. Yet it had a somewhat profound effect on me seeing it in the flesh. Its simplicity in combination with its size is quite something to behold.
Enjoying the sun's warmth and the monument's aura!
The Washington Monument up close as you can get.
The Vietnam war memorial. Very moving when walking slowly past the names that go on and on and on. So much trauma for so many families.
A small part of the Arlington National Cemetary. Over 300,000 buried here since the Civil War.
