Signal at 21st Street, NW


Signal at 21st Street, NW

Today was a beautiful December day, warmer than it's been in weeks, still nippy but not unpleasant, with crisp blue skies. So I decided to take a walk around 3, with the shadows already growing long as the brilliant winter sun hung low in the sky. On Christmas Eve, the streets were nearly empty, and I walked all the way down through the quiet city to the mall, past 21st and Constitution (pictured), down near the Vietnam Memorial. Even in the middle of winter, tourists were walking the mall; most of them seemed to be coming to the Vietnam Memorial to pay their respects. I walked over to the river, and along it for a while, before turning back uptown along 23rd Street.

The other thing I saw as I was out walking today, not far from the Kennedy Center, were the steps across from the Potomac river, all lit up to a firey golden color by the rapidly setting sun.
