Sunset over Washington

From the right perspective, even the massive mechanical monotony of construction equipment takes on a peaceful look at sunset (I know you like that alliteration).

So Washington… where’s your favorite place to watch a sunset in the DC Area?

Metro Tunnel

As the hundreds of thousands of us who commute everyday on metro take our daily flight down escalators and elevators, we often loose sight of the fact that our metro is in fact just an underground tunnel. Someone had to have dug the hole which we so swiftly, or not so swiftly, travel day in and day out.

This photo circa 1988, shows light pouring through an opening from above onto underground construction equipment. The green glow provides an interesting counterpoint to the light from above.

With the clean lines of our metro system and seem-less integration into our downtown area, many people can go from condo to office building without ever going outside and though Metro doesn’t go everywhere, the thought that went into construction was truly impressive![Photo Paul A. Souders/CORBIS]
