Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. OPOSTV_030423_051.JPG: The construction work is going on for the new National Museum of the American Indian, in theory the last of the museums on the Mall. It's set to open in 2004. To the right of it, you can see the left-most exhibit hall of the National Air and Space Museum.
2. OPOSTV_030423_080.JPG: A view up Pennsylvania Avenue. The dome on the lower left is part of the Reagan building. The big white structure with the columns is the Treasury building. The ornate structure which faces you is the Old Executive Office Building. If you look between Treasury and the OEOB, you can see the top of one of the wings of the White House (rounded windows).
3. OPOSTV_030423_092.JPG: This is the construction site where the new National World War II Memorial is going. You can go to their web site at http://www.wwiimemorial.com/ to see what it's supposed to look like. It is supposed to be dedicated in May 2004. I went to the groundbreaking for it which was a neat event.
4. OPOSTV_030430_007.JPG: The Capitol is obvious. Above and to the left of it is the US Supreme Court building.
5. OPOSTV_030430_010.JPG: This is the FBI Building
6. OPOSTV_030430_012.JPG: The construction is the National Museum of the American Indian, due to open in 2004. The glass enclosure to the left of it is the US Botanical Gardens.
7. OPOSTV_030430_032.JPG: In the distance, you can see the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Catholic U. Just in front of it, the long structure that faces us is the new Washington Convention Center which opened this year.
8. OPOSTV_030430_042.JPG: A closer picture of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
9. OPOSTV_030430_049.JPG: That's National Cathedral on the horizon
10. OPOSTV_030430_056.JPG: Lots of things here! The rooftop that's closest to you is the Reagan Building. Just above it, there's a solid red roof that goes across the width of the picture; that's the Commerce Department. Facing Commerce are three structures. Left to right, they are the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Red Cross, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The large building just past them is in the Interior Department. And in the distance (across the Potomac River into Rosslyn), the interesting-looking tower is the USA Today building.
11. OPOSTV_030430_057.JPG: The red-roofed building on the far left which faces the Commerce Department is the Organization of American States. Next to it is the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) building with its Constitution Hall.
12. OPOSTV_030430_059.JPG: If you look across the river on the far left, that black structure are the Netherlands Carillon bells, which are next to Arlington Cemetery. To the right somewhere would be the Iwo Jima memorial.
13. OPOSTV_030430_069.JPG: The main buildnig here is the Old Executive Office Building
14. OPOSTV_030430_073.JPG: That's the edge of the FBI building on the lower left
15. OPOSTV_030430_077.JPG: A picture through plexiglass so it's a little fuzzy but... The donut on the far left is the Hirshhorn museum. The dome to the right of it is for the Natural History museum. The castle-like structure to the right of that is the Smithsonian Castle.
16. OPOSTV_030430_078.JPG: This is Liberty Plaza, primarily known because it has L'Enfant's proposed map of the city. Above it to the left is the Willard Hotel. To the right of that is the JW Marriot hotel. You can see a theatre entrance on the far right; that's the National Theater.
17. OPOSTV_030430_093.JPG: The Lincoln Memorial is obvious. Above and to the left of it is Memorial Bridge which connects Lincoln to Robert E Lee's house; one of those symbolic north-south union things. The structure that you see across the bridge is the women's memorial at Arlington. The house above and to the left of that is Lee's house. During the Civil War, Union casualties were buried in his lawn out of spite, starting with his wife's rose garden.
18. OPOSTV_030430_098.JPG: To the left of the Washington Monument, you can see the long flat roof of the Pentagon.
19. OPOSTV_030430_099.JPG: The long four-part structure is the National Air and Space Museum. To the left of that is the new National Museum of the American Indian. The smudge in the bottom right is my thumb, as I try gently to keep the wires that block the viewpoints from getting in my camera frame.

2003 photos: Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
