More images

Below are more photos from Facebook. As I post here I remove the images from my Facebook profile. With time I expect to remove all the images. Then I can finally get rid of that useless account.

The image above is me, naturally. Lesley was so inspired by my picture where I stuck my tongue out she made me do it again this time with a close up. Incidentally the trees in the background are close to the centre of power as you can see in the images below.
The couple in this image are my in-laws. This picture was taken during the congressional recess of the summer 2006. Curiously there was a police presence in DC the likes of which I had never before seen. Its a shame, Americans should be able to tour the capital unhindered (okay I'm not American, but if my friend from Rochester wanted to take a tour of the capital he'd have to arrange it with his Congressman first.)

This image is from August 2001.

This image was also taken during the congressional recess of the summer 2006. Over my left shoulder is where the United States House of Representatives convene, over my right shoulder is the US Senate. Like I said above, those trees are closer to the centre of power than just about any other trees in the World.

This picture was taken from Liberty Island in the summer of 2006. Behind us is the Battery and over my left shoulder you can make out the Brooklyn bridge. It started pouring cats and dogs just after the picture was taken.

This is the national mall, taken from the lowest steps of the US Capital facing the Lincoln Memorial. The man on a horseback is part of the Civil War Memorial, I cannot remember who he was, probably General Grant. The pool is part of the civil war memorial and not the famous reflecting pool which is beyond the Washington Monument. (The Vietnam Veterans memorial and Lincoln Memorial are about 4km away just a little to the right and directly downrange respectively. The Whitehouse is just a few hundred meters to the right of the Washington Monument.)
