The Capitol looks better in your pictures than in person. Well done.

in Washington is quite worthwhile. Most of the buildings are more impressive from street level but the view from the tower is different. Because the Washington Monument is currently being renovated this is one of the best views readily available.

The old post office building is currently the home of the Trump International Hotel, but the clock tower is operated by the National Parks Service and is open to the public. Photography and video are welcomed in the museum and the tower. However, if you enter the hotel lobby, only cell phone pictures are allowed - no cameras (cameras can be carried but can't be used).

My only regret is that the tower is not photo friendly. For safety, the entire open area at the top of the tower is enclosed with either closely spaced steel cables or dirty, smudged plexiglas. I got a few acceptable shots but nothing to be proud of. I did, however, enjoy the view!

Carol...That certainly was a most enjoyable, interesting, and beautifully filmed tour you took us all on. Your photos are all very impressive, but shot #8 (rooftop gardens) tops them all, in my opinion. Excellent!!

Thank you, Bill! You're right. There are plenty of areas that are run down and the homeless situation is pretty bad. However, all the areas nears the Mall appear to be in pretty good shape.

Thank you, Karin! I was amazed at some of those roof top and balcony gardens. You aren't really aware of them from street level but when you get up high, they are everywhere!

Mike, your lovely comments make it all worthwhile! I, too, love #8. It was challenging to shootthrough the steel cables on the tower and it was difficult to get a decent angle. I'm just very pleased that it worked out as well as it did.

These are wonderful images, Carol! I've been to DC many time but never went to the top of the Clock Tower! If I ever go again, that'll be on the top of my "to do" list!

I'm very glad you enjoyed these, Sue! The clock tower is one of those often overlooked treats and I was pleased to have discovered it.
