i broke in my new D70s a few weeks ago in D.C. and met up with the legendarily awesome Ex-Ithacan for lunch and a tour (thanks again.)

i'd forgotten how great a city it is, and wierdly, part of what makes D.C. great is that it reminds me of a lot of other cities, or at least parts of it does. diversity in people and buildings is a great thing. enough rambling, on with the pics.

I think I'll be the first of many to say that this is a phenomenal thread. Great pictures. Thanks for posting.

WOW.

Very nice thread Lsyd. This is one of the best DC threads I've seen. You should come up and do another one sometime, there is still some more beautiful areas to cover.

very nice!!

thanks y'all.

:cheers:

Fantastic images! You covered lots of territory and did a great job of showing the lesser seen parts of the ****.

I concur... amazing thread. That 1st one gives a really awesome, rarely-if-ever seen perspective of the White House.

thanks y'all. i just got back from DC (short trip for a party, so not many pics) and i miss it already (but not the I-95 traffic.)

I concur... amazing thread. That 1st one gives a really awesome, rarely-if-ever seen perspective of the White House.

it's actually easy to get that view. it's from the top floor deck of the Hotel Washington.

Thumbs way up.

Nice breadth and diversity of material.

I haven't been to DC since I was 7 yrs old and can't remember much of it. How I'd love to go back for a visit.

Cool pics but, EW how could you compare downtown Silver Spring to midtown Atlanta?

great stuff, I love the 'everyday people' shots. And the building pics, obviously :)

this is a nice set of photos that you have here. Thanks for sharing them with us!

awesome shots... what a great city! can't wait to come visit.

very nice pictures, I think DC is very underrated around here....you just have to take your time to get to know it.

Thanks for the pics, sorry for the late reply, I just ran into them.

Helluva tour L, and thanks for being such good company for an afternoon.:banana:

WOW amazing pictures! #64 is not DC though but Downtown Silver spring...infact East-West Hwy and Colesville Rd.

good pics ...thanks for posting :cheers:

Old thread, great photos!

I'm gonna be in DC/VA/MD next week and will take and post tons of pics. :-)
