Description
Washington D.C. has gone through quite a few ups and downs over the years. Many neighborhoods fell into grim disrepair during the last half of the 20th century. But happily things have changed for the better. We are staying in a cozy basement apartment in a row house built in 1892. These neighboring colorful homes are also vintage early 1890s and just a few blocks from the Capitol Building.

Happy Easter to you and Tara! Nice to see these. My first guess was San Francisco, so Wash., DC surprised me. Nice to see the old late 19th century buildings refurbished. The colors make me think of all the colors associated with Easter. Thanks for the eucation! Keep up the good work! :-)

It was certainly worth stopping in the heat to get this shot! Thanks for doing that so I could enjoy the view in comfort later. :) :*

Nice neighbor. Well done

A colorful row. Interesting how the peaked roofs are just shallow facades backed by what look like flat rooflines...

It's good to see these magnificent old houses restored so beautifully. What a great shot, Bill! Hope you & Tara had an awesome Easter!

I have to say I like the change. A wonderful shot. I had to zoom to realize these are brick buildings. On the west coast they would be made of wood. Sounds like you and Tara are having a great time.

Yeah, in zoom these are so detailed. And with your usual sense of detail and balance and finesse. (Finesse is another form of "fine-ness," after all.) The play of strong light against strong shadow is beautiful; and the rather muted tones of the pic make these facades like a quiet procession: Lined up for neighborhood review, but a private review, intimate...Your composition gives us the biggest tree to the left of center; balanced by the big facades to the right. And the cars fit right in ,even though they're of a completely different age. (And yes, we have dirty cars in Chicago, lol! One, I coaxed out light in shots like that; and two, in those neighborhoods, people have lots of money, so they tend to keep their cars cleaner. I'll get some dirty cars for you...) Cropped to case-in all the layers. Beautiful shot of this beautiful neighborhood. I picture your trip surrounded by monumental structures, and a huge museum. This was a wonderful contrast. Great to see you here again, Sir B!
