Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
NCATHV_970219_01.JPG: National Cathedral, tower under construction
There's still one tower that's being worked on at the National Cathedral. A master stonemason has a shop on the building's groups where he's working on the sculptures. The tower itself is actually surrounded by this scaffolding.
NCATHV_970219_02.JPG: Natl Cathedral E (Catholic Univ)
Look for: The side of the National Cathedral and immmediately next to it the dome of the National Shrine.
NCATHV_970219_03.JPG: Natl Cathedral S (Kennedy Center)
Look for Kennedy Center at the center of the picture. Next to it is the Potomac River and then Rosslyn.
NCATHV_970219_04.JPG: Natl Cathedral SE (Capitol)
Look for: US Capitol and then the tiny tower for the Old Post Office to the right of it.
NCATHV_970219_05.JPG: Natl Cathedral SSE (Wash Monument)
Look for: US Capitol, Old Post Office tower (good luck!), Washington Monument, the Kennedy Center, and then the Potomac River.
NCATHV_970515_01.JPG: Natl Cathedral SEE (Capitol, Old Post Office)
A view from the National Cathedral. Through the haze, you can see the Capitol toward the left and the Old Post Office tower on the right.
NCATHV_970515_02.JPG: Natl Cathedral SSE (Wash Monument, Jefferson)
Another view from the National Cathedral. You can see the Washington Monument on the left and the Jefferson Memorial on the right. That's the Potomac River behind the trees by the Jefferson Memorial.
NCATHV_970515_03.JPG: Natl Cathedral SW (Kennedy Center)
Look for: Kennedy Center, Potomac River, and Rosslyn.

This is the North Tower of the National Cathedral which is still being worked on.
AAA "Gem": AAA considers this location to be a "must see" point of interest. To see pictures of other areas that AAA considers to be Gems, click here.
Description of Subject Matter: While you can always go up in one of the National Cathedral's towers, twice a year they have an open house when you can go up in the tower above the bell tower. When the weather's beautiful, it's an amazing time.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

1997 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland.
From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera.
From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on).
In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year.
In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded.
Image quality is going to be variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints.
The images shown here were scanned in two phases. In the early years of the website, I rescanned a selection of pre-digital images, all at fairly low quality settings. During the COVID pandemic, I launched the Great Rescanning Effort, rescanning ALL of my pre-digital images from various media (prints, slides, negatives, etc) at higher resolution and quality settings. Mutilple versions of images -- some from the initial scannning phase, some from prints, some from slides/negatives -- were posted so there are frequently duplicate images on the same page. At some point, I hope to have time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates but that'll have to wait until all of the pre-digital images are finally posted.
Trips this year: North Carolina (Dad), Florida (Mom), using a time share in Arkansas to visit Civil War sites in Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Civil War became my excuse to see places I'd never been to in my life and it was a great motivator for 20 years or so.
