Rear view

This is the back of the US Capitol, which I’ve always thought was the front as it faces the National Mall. But when it was built, the back of the building faced what was wilderness at the time. Anyway, the first picture in this gallery is the front of the Capitol, and I got a history lesson ;-).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

We went to the United States Botanic Garden’s Season’s Greenings exhibit titled “All Aboard,” which showcases historic train stations from around the country made almost entirely from plant materials.

I learned something today too! An amazing reproduction. Love the lady looking over the top of the dome on the left. Made me smile...we could all use a smile about now when thinking about our government. Yikes, what a mess this country is in. V

Great shot - nice to have people there for scale. They must have been looking at the sunset phenomenon when duplicating :) V
