Inspecting the Quake Damaged Washington Monument

Day 3 of the inspection of the damage caused by last month's 5.8 earthquake at the Washington Monument.    It's become quite an attraction both for locals and tourists.   I visited mid-day Thursday, with a lot of clouds in the sky, didn't make for the best photographs.





This woman didn't see the blocked off area and had to be escorted away from the Monument.

Church for Sale in Southwest D.C.





Saturday when I attended the (e) merge Art Fair at the Capitol Skyline Hotel, I parked on a street nearby where there was this abandoned church for sale.  Not sure what the asking price is, but it's not everyday you see a church for sale?

Friday Night at the Ballpark, Nats Game


 

Post-game fireworks, this photo taken by my iphone!





Not only did the Nats loose to the Mets, but Teddy lost (again) in the Presidents race.   For the record, Teddy has never won!
