Crowds, cars and the Washington Monument

We were trying to get across the river to Virginia, and it took more than an hour for what’s normally a 15 minute drive due to all the people who had come to see the cherry blossoms, not only on the Tidal Basin but pretty much everywhere around the city.

Yes, this time of year is really full of visitors to any kind of "blossom" area here too in Germany. V

I guess the beautiful blossoms attract the crowds for only short period of time. Tis is such a nice image of the Washington Monument.
