Wandering Washington

Reckon it's #wednesdaywalk time again but with heat warnings in effect I'm spending it indoors. It's not quite as bad here as what the UK is getting (Hive account@dandays does it feel like Tennessee there yet?) but we'll get there in a day or two. Anyways, these are from a series of of walks in Washington DC back in the spring when it was a bit more temperate out.

You got to watch your step in Washington, there's a lot of open holes. Then again the whole city kind of resembles that remark, it used to be a literal swamp and now it's just a figurative one.

Does it get more patriotic than paddle boating on the Tidal Basin? What I really want to know though is who looked at this and thought "What the Tidal Basin really needs is paddle boat rentals!"

Sometimes you go to a museum for the exhibits and stay for the people.

Abandoned strollers are perfectly normal right? Not the work of the adrenochrome bandits?

Does it even count as visiting DC if you don't at least catch a glimpse of the nation's most famous phallic symbol? Can't decide if they were trying to honor George Washington or not so subtly suggest that he was a monumental dick.

Height limits keep the buildings on the squat, blocky side, makes for lots of fun lines to shoot.

I wonder if he's one toke over the line? That's enough walking for one Wednesday, time to catch the last train out of here.
