United States Institute of Peace

I have often seen this building, which didn’t exist when we left Washington in 2010, on our way over the bridge to Virginia and have always meant to photograph it, but thanks to Jane’s recent picture of it, we decided to stop there and see what it looked like for ourselves. I did get in trouble from a guard for wandering around on private property (although I am told this place is government funded), but did manage to at least get this shot. This is the kind of creative architecture I’d like to see more of here.

Early spring, or false spring? posted earlier:

Difficult to understand why an Institute of Peace would be private, especially with the flag flying ! Good that you got this neat shot of it V

slightly odd that an institute of peace should be so hostile to viewing and dissemination of its existence (but perhaps this is only recent and until a way can be found of making a profit from it)

It is very innovative and creative - could almost be a building from Saudi! V

Institute of peace! No one is there, it appears empty, can't get in ... wow, some peace!

Guards are like that, tell him you're doing a survey on how efficient they are.
