Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. YARDS_140824_041.JPG: Broadside Mount Shop: Completed in 1941, Building 202 was constructed for the production of heavy ordnance as a direct result of the United States' involvement in World War II. The building housed the Broadside Mount Shop, which combined functions of the existing Gun Carriage Shop, Forge Shop, and Foundries. The shop manufactured, tested, overhauled, and shipped advanced ordnance equipment such as gun mounts and rocket launchers. Boring mills and other high-precision equipment produced units with tolerances as low as .0002 of an inch.

Wikipedia Description: The Yards (Washington, D.C.)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yards is a 42-acre (17 ha) development on the Anacostia River waterfront in Washington, D.C. The area is at the center of the Capitol Riverfront Business Improvement District and was originally an annex of the Washington Navy Yard. In 2004, the U.S. General Services Administration awarded the property to Forest City Washington, Inc. for redevelopment into an area with 2,800 new residential units and 2,200,000 sq ft (200,000 m2) of office and retail space. The centerpiece of the development is the Yards Park, which forms a portion of the Anacostia Riverwalk.

Location

The development is just west of the Washington Navy Yard and east of Nationals Park. It is served by the Navy Yard - Ballpark station on the Green Line of the Washington Metro.
Yards Park

The Yards Park is a waterfront recreation area, boardwalk, and outdoor performance space at the center of The Yards development. It was built as a public-private partnership between the District government, the General Services Administration, and Forest City Washington development company. The park is operated by the Capitol Riverfront BID and has won several design and urban planning awards since it opened in 2010.

2014 photos: Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Winchester, VA, Nashville, TN, and Atlanta, GA), Michigan to visit mom in the hospice before she died and then a return trip after she died, and my 9th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and Los Angeles). Ego strokes: Paul Dickson used one of my photos as the author photo in his book "Aphorisms: Words Wrought by Writers". Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 470,000.
