I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dupont Circle is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Red Line that opened for service on January 17, 1977.

The station, which serves the neighborhood of Dupont Circle, has two entrances: the north entrance, on Q Street Northwest between Connecticut Avenue and 20th Street Northwest (which opened in January 1977), and the south entrance, on 19th Street Northwest between Dupont Circle and Sunderland Place (which opened in March 1977). The station's north entrance escalators are 188 feet (57 m) long.

The station was constructed underneath a former streetcar tunnel and another tunnel that carries Connecticut Avenue traffic. It is the fifth-busiest station in the Metrorail system, averaging 23,400 passengers per weekday as of May 2006[update].

In 2007, a portion of the poem The Wound Dresser by Walt Whitman was inscribed into the granite wall around the north entrance escalators:

Thus in silence in dreams' projections,
Returning, resuming, I thread my way through the hospitals;
The hurt and wounded I pacify with soothing hand,

Some suffer so much - I recall the experience sweet and sad,...

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.
