Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. EMBNIC_150502_011.JPG: Immaculate Conception: Nicaragua declared the Immaculate Conception as the National Patroness of the country. This Festivity, popularly known as "La Purisima" is observed both religiously and culturally. In 2012, Nicaragua celebrated the 450th annual patronage of the Immaculate Conception, that began in the city of "El Viejo," Chinadega Department. During the Purisma, the custom is to gather in groups and visit houses with shrines to the Immaculate Conception and sing Marian hymns ending with the popular call of: QUIEN CAUSA TANTA ALEGRIA? LA CONCEPCION DE MARIA! Similar to caroling songs during Christmas time, carolers receive special candies or sweet treats given by the household, made especially for this occasion.

Wikipedia Description: Embassy of Nicaragua in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Embassy of Nicaragua in Washington, D.C. is the Republic of Nicaragua's diplomatic mission to the United States. It's located at 1627 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. The embassy also operates Consulates-General in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, New Orleans, Miami, and New York City.

Building

Dr. Louis C. Lehr (brother of Henry Symes Lehr) and his wife, Marie, were the original occupants of the building. It was designed and built by Clarke Waggaman in 1913–1914. Notable occupants of the building have included Norman H. Davis (while serving as Undersecretary of State), Raymond T. Baker (while serving as Director of the U.S. Mint), Joseph H. Himes (while serving in Congress), Roy D. Chapin (while serving as Secretary of Commerce), and Guillermo Sevilla-Sacasa (while serving as Nicaraguan ambassador).

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
