Washington DC and New York (Part 2 on the Nikon)

My second set of DC photos - i realise none of these are actually from the NY set.
These photos were taken over varying weathers and with two different lenses.

The first 3 photos are of Capitol Hill over 3 days:

At sunset the day after the heavy snow.
I was amazed i could actually take the shot - I was being mad and walking from the Library of Congress back to my husband's office (which is opposite the National Archives) i.e. very far for wintry weather walking. I couldn't feel my hands and toes after awhile.

The morning after the snow - the view from the bottom of Washington Memorial.

As I was walking to Capitol Hill, i saw these 5 friends turn around as they were walking back from Capitol Hill. It was as if they decide to turn and stand and stare in silence, taking in the architecture / grandeur of the building, before moving on for the day.

I was on a 3- hour (self) walking tour which included a (cold) walk around Tidal Basin
with the basin half frozen over. At least the ducks were enjoying themselves.

Arlington Cemetery covered in snow



The shots below are random sights in DC.
