A day in DC

Thanks, Mary!!!!

Janis, #9 is some of the truss structure at the National Holocaust Museum. I waited for people to go by on purpose. To me, the juxtaposition of humans amidst the impersonal geometry of the trusses was somewhat unsettling. I hope I was able to impart that sense.

The imagery at the Holocaust Museum was very strong emotionally. For example, in the lobby itself, the brickwork was in the shape of the cremation ovens.

The sensory experience there was quite moving, if not a bit overwhelming.

I did like that juxtaposition; I should have mentioned it.

Looks like an interesting place. Do post more shots if you have them.

Janis, we were only allowed to take pictures in the lobby and in the Hall of Remembrance, and no flash photography at that. As such, these were the only images I have recorded.

Lovely tour, thanks, 'Rie. Lots of variety in style and subject.
