@[email protected] My aunt, who is no longer with us, was a volunteer based in that building, patiently answering tourists' questions and advising people where to go and what to see at the Smithsonian. I grew up in the DC area but have been in California for more than 40 years. I feel I have to get back there and see all the museums before JD Vance destroys them.

Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6) and the Phase One back, shifted vertically a bit to maintain geometry.

This is a straightforward composition showing the front of the Smithsonian Castle, which is not actually a castle, and, despite being part of the Smithsonian, not actually a museum, either (it houses mostly offices and a small visitor center). It sits on the National Mall, which, despite the name, is not a shopping center. Lies and deceit everywhere in DC!
