Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. WMONV_030916_017.JPG: In the bottom middle, you can see the Smithsonian Castle (the red/brown building on the left), the Arts and Industries Building (also red/brown, to the right of it). The circular building is the Hirshhorn. The four rectangle blocks above it are the Air and Space Museum. Above that, the funny looking building is the new American Indian Museum which is being constructed.
2. WMONV_030916_051.JPG: The National Cathedral is on the horizon. To the left of it is Sugarloaf Mountain, about 25 miles in the distance.
3. WMONV_030916_085.JPG: The building in the center front is the Department of Commerce. To odd-shaped building with the circular hole is the Reagan Building. The building on the corner above and left of the Reagan building is the District Building. Off in the distance is the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
4. WMONV_030916_140.JPG: The World War II Memorial under construction
5. WMONV_030916_154.JPG: On the upper right is the Kennedy Center. The World War II memorial is in the lower left. The pond is the Bicentennial garden. The Stealth Bomber-like slit in the ground above the pond is the Vietnam Wall.
6. WMONV_030917_104.JPG: World War II Memorial under construction from the Washington Monument
7. WMONV_031003_06.JPG: That's a police sniper on the Commerce Department roof. They're positioned there whenever the Presidential helicopter flies in to make sure no one's sitting there were a rocket launcher.
8. WMONV_031003_16.JPG: There's construction on the left of the Kennedy Center as they put in a new plaza.
9. WMONV_031015_35.JPG: There will be a better picture next but look for the Mormon Temple in the upper right.
10. WMONV_031015_48.JPG: Behind the Washington Cathedral, you can see Sugarloaf Mountain
11. WMONV_031015_52.JPG: Two folks I knew from the Smithsonian waiting to go up.
12. WMONV_031120_12.JPG: You can see two stadiums in this picture. The one directly behind the Capitol is RFK Stadium. On the horizon on the left is FedEx field.
13. WMONV_031120_19.JPG: The red building in the middle of the picture is the National Building Museum. If you look above it, the on-its-side barrel building was where the Beatles performed in 1964 in their first live performance in the United States.

Description of Subject Matter: From the 500 foot level of the Washington Monument, you get majestic views of the city. Two windows face each direction. North gives you a view of the White House, the National Cathedral, the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Sugarloaf Mountain, etc. East gives you a view of the Capital building, the National Mall, and most of the Smithsonian buildings. South gives you a view of the Jefferson Memorial, National Airport, East Potomac Park, etc. And West gives you a view of the Lincoln Memorial, the new World War II memorial, Arlington Cemetery, Tysons Corner, etc.

After 9/11, every other window was closed off for spy cameras so the military could install massive cameras for views in all directions. That made it very hard to get decent views because there were so many people trying to get to windows. They fixed this some time later, installing the cameras higher up.
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.

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.
