Washington, DC: Part II
I always enjoy the National Gallery of Art. When I have so little time as I did on this visit, I always choose this Smithsonian and visit the visiting exhibits. While it is always exhilarating to see the newer works on exhibit, there is, however; a rather nice collection on permanent exhibit of works by Vincent van Gogh and fellow impressionists; Claude Monet, Edouard Manet. So little time, so much art, and then they close.

With the sun low in this Winter's sky, a golden glow up the U.S. Capitol: above. That same golden glow upon the pool in front of the Capitol and the U.S. Grant Memorial: below.
The sun is now down and now one more shot of the Capitol at the east end of the National Mall: above. The Washington Monument at the west end of the National Mall: below.
