I love these types of shots. They alway make me wonder what people are thinking and doing. The surroundings in this shot are great. The color, DOF and exposure all seem to be right on. Nice work!

Very creative use of an old building in a city famous for its shrines and monuments. Very nice work ...

Kewl shot. I actually stared at it for a few minutes trying to gather what all was going on. I love these types of photos and paintings too for that matter.

It's a pretty cool building. It's on Pennsylvania, a few blocks west of the archives. For some reason you have to go through a metal detector to buy a salad, but that's DC I guess..
It's also possible to go up to the tower (free) but I don't find the view over DC the most exciting..
I've only taken the train from Union station, I'll try to take my camera there some time. Thanks for the tip!
