Description of Pictures: Multiple visits during Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg's In America: Remember installation. Images of the installation are on a separate page.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

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.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

National Christmas Tree (United States) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Christmas Tree is a large evergreen tree located in the northeast quadrant of The Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C. Each year since 1923, the tree has been decorated as a Christmas tree. Every year, early in December, the tree is traditionally lit by the President of the United States. Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt also made formal remarks during the tree lighting ceremony. Since 1954, the event has marked the start of month-long festivities known as the Pageant of Peace. Smaller trees representing the U.S. states, District of Columbia, and the five territories around the National Christmas Tree are referred to as the Pathway to Peace. ...

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.
