Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

20. WMON_180117_28.JPG: Washington: The City National Mall and Memorial Parks George Washington shaped many aspects of the nation's capital. He championed placing the capital along the Potomac River then personally selected the site. He chose architect Pierre L'Enfant to design the city. L'Enfant envisioned a capital with symbolically-placed key buildings, a cross-grid street system with intersections for future commemorative sites. At its center, L'Enfant planned a grand space known as the Mall, with the houses of government perched on its edges and a monument to George Washington at its cross-axis. The basic concepts of L'Enfant's design still can be seen today. Slow Progress: In 1836 the Washington National Monument Society held a contest to design the monument. Architect Robert Mills proposed a stone pillar, or "obelisk", rising from a low building surrounded by columns. This design was later simplified into the clean lines you see today.

68. WMONE1_140512_450.JPG: James W. Symington From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia James Wadsworth Symington (/ˈsaɪmɪŋtən/; born September 28, 1927) is a United States attorney and politician who served as four-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1969 to 1977, representing Missouri. Biography Youth, family, and education James Wadsworth Symington, son of Stuart (U.S. senator, Missouri) and Evelyn (Wadsworth) Symington, was born on September 28, 1927 in Rochester, New York. He is the great-grandson of James Wolcott Wadsworth (U.S. Congress, New York) and grandson of James Wolcott Wadsworth, Jr. (U.S. Congress, New York). He attended St. Bernard's School in New York City, St. Louis Country Day School in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1945, he graduated from Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17. He served in the Marine Corps as a private first class from 1945 to 1946. Symington earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University in 1950 where he was a member of the Berzelius secret society (according to the 1950 Yale Banner), and his law degree from Columbia Law School in 1954. Early legal career and public service After graduating from law school, Symington served for two years as Assistant City Counselor (1954–1955) for St. Louis. He then went into private practice from 1955 to 1958. Beginning in the 1950s, he occasionally performed as country music and folk singer, appearing on KMOX-AM and KSD-AM. He also frequently sang at his father's 1952 campaign appearances across Missouri. In 1958, he appeared on ABC-TV's Jubilee USA, and also performed with Patti Douglas and Lee Mace's Ozark Opry. Later in 1958, Symington entered the United States Foreign Service and was posted to London as assistant to John Hay Whitney, the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom. He served in this role until 1960, when he returned to private practice in Washington, D.C.. He served in a series of roles in government from 1961 to 1968: deputy director, Food for Peace (1961–1962); administrative assistant to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (1962–1963); director, President’s Committee on Juvenile Delinquency (1965–1966); consultant, President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice (1965–1966); and Chief of Protocol of the United States (1966–1968). Congressional career In 1968, Symington was elected as a Democrat to the 91st Congress to represent Missouri's 2nd Congressional District. He served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1969 to 1977. While in Congress, served on the House Commerce Committee; and the Committee on Science and Technology, chairing the subcommittees on Space Science and Applications; Science, Research & Technology; and International Cooperation. In the 1976 election, chose not to seek his seat for a fifth term; rather, he made an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by his father, who retired after serving four terms. He faced Missouri Governor Warren Hearnes and Congressman Jerry Litton in the Democratic primary. Litton won the primary but was killed when his plane crashed en route to the victory party. Hearnes was named the Democratic candidate and ultimately lost to Republican Party candidate John Danforth. At the end of his Congressional term, Symington returned to the D.C.-based law firm Smathers, Symington & Herlong as a partner. Post-congressional roles Symington served as Director of The Atlantic Council from 1986 to 2001 and as Director of the Library of Congress Russian Leadership Program in 2001. He is currently practicing law with the law firm of Nossaman LLP/O'Connor & Hannan, where he specializes in legislative and administrative representation. Symington is also a writer. A collection of his poems, songs, and prose, A Muse ’N Washington: Beltway Ballads and Beyond , was published in 1999. Symington appeared as a commentator in the 1990 Ken Burns film The Civil War.

WMON_140512_46.JPG: Bullet holes from US Park Police killing Norman Mayer -- Dec 8, 1982: Norman Mayer, an anti-nuclear weapons activist and eccentric, drives a white van up to the base of the Washington Monument. Mayer claims to have a 1,000 pounds of explosives in the van, which he say he will use to destroy the monument, unless a national dialogue on the threat of nuclear weapons is seriously undertaken. He holds off police for 10 hours before he starts to roll the van towards the White House. At that point, United States Park Police snipers open fire, fatally wounding him. No explosives are found in the van. The above from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_political_violence_in_Washington,_D.C.

  National Mall and Memorial Parks Washington Monument Earthquake Damage Repair: In August of 2011, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Washington DC area, causing damage to the 555-foot Washington Monument. As the Monument swayed from the quake, some of its exterior marble panels cracked and pieces broke off. Inside the Monument, many of the granite stones that support the structure cracked. Most of the damage was in the pyramid-shaped top, called the pyramidion. Project repairs include filling cracks, securing loose stone, fitting new or salvaged stone pieces (Dutchman) into damaged areas, stabilizing cracked blocks with steel brackets, repointing mortar joints and replacing the lightning protection system. The project is funded in part by a generous donation from David Rubenstein through our partner, the Trust for the National Mall.

83. WMON_070403_30.JPG: The Jefferson Pier marks the first meridian of the United States and was originally established in 1793 on a line due south through the center of the White House at the intersection of a line west from the center of the Capitol. The original point was marked by a wooden stake and replaced by a stone pier in 1804. The monument was removed and replaced several times until finally being restored in 1889 under the direction of Colonel O. H. Ernst, Officer in Charge of Public Buildings and Grounds. The pier, a 2 foot square granite monument extending 2 feet above the ground remains today a point of curiosity with tourists who seldom understand its significance. The meridian of the United States was changed to the center of the dome old Naval Observatory in 1850, and finally replaced legally by the adoption the Greenwich (England) Meridian for both boundaries and navigation in 1912. Subsequent to the re-establishment of the Jefferson Pier in 1889, the Office of Public Building and Grounds set a new monument, the Meridian Stone of 1890 in the center of Presidents Park approximately 459 meters north of and in the same meridian as the Jefferson Pier, but in a more protected area. This monument is marked by an 18 inch square granite post set flush with the ground. The above was from http://geodesy.noaa.gov/PUBS_LIB/freedom_stands.html
