Sunday Snapshots: The Neighborhood
Since the post I just posted (see below) was sans photos, I thought I'd share these:
Aren't these doors pretty? Sights like this are everywhere in DC, which is one thing I love about the city. I think this is an international labor union of some kind.
And you gotta love the metal elephant statue among the lilies in front of this townhouse on Biltmore. Even better is that he has these strange spikes all over him. Random statuary in DC is common, too.

JennyTinDC,
Regina Spektor and Velocity Girl? Clearly you are an enlightened soul.
If you're relatively new to the area and you're looking for some interesting architecture in DC, check out the Reptile House at the NZP (it's an old, red brick basilica-plan), the original lobby and reading room at Library of Congress (cherubs of the world, mosaics, and formerly high-tech aluminum leaf details), and the National Cathedral (with dandy formal gardens and -no kidding- the Darth Vader gargoyle). Also, the botanic garden near the Capitol is an under-visited gem.
