Our first walk in D.C.

It seems that CsLaKoNaS will not post anything else here...
I was waiting him to post our first walk in D.C. I was waiting for three months...
So, I am writing this post on my own. :p

Here we are! This is our first walk in Washington D.C. together...
We have just got out of the Federal Triangle metro station.


This is the first picture I took. It is just the building of SunTrust Bank, but I liked it.


This is the US Treasury Building. The building is right next to the White House, and once housed the Department of Justice.


The statue you see is Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury.

This is one of the statues in Lafayette Square:

He is Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat who came over to serve in General Washington's army in the American Revolutionary War and became a very close lifelong friend of George Washington.

I think that everyone knows what the next photo is. It is the White House. Don't try, you can see neither Barack nor Michelle.


This is an old office building near White House. It really looks like a dollhouse...


This is the statue of Tadeusz Kościuszko in Lafayette Square. He is a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, the United States and Belarus.


The Renwick Gallery, a branch of the Smithsonian American Art Museum:


The next statue is the First Division Monument and commemorates those who died while serving in the 1st Infantry Division of the US Army.


And this is the back side of the White House with the famous oval office ;)


Just a fountain. Okay CS, I like taking stupid photos... What's your problem? :p


The next photo is the Washington Monument, the obelisk.

The obelisk and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Every single time that CsLaKoNaS sees this photo, he is thinking of the scene in the Forrest Gump movie.


and here is Lincoln looking at his reflecting pool...


That's enough with the monuments, now a taste of the capital's nature...



These were some photos of our first walk in D.C.
Now, one year and a half later, we live in D.C. together... :)

Have a good night and take care....


PS: CsLaKoNaS will upload soon some photos of our visit in New York City (I will make him do so).
