| The National Portrait Gallery is the part of Smithsonian Institution. It's covered courtyard is probably the most beautiful I've ever seen, including British Museum in London. |
dc: the gallery
dc: offices
 |
| One of many postmodern office blocks in Downtown Washington. They have a law in DC that forbids putting up buildings taller than the Washington Memorial. Therefore, many office complexes fill up whole urban blocks and, despite their architectural value, create a kind of unfriendly, empty public spaces. |
dc: the metro
 |
| I started my last brief visit to DC in the tunnels of Capitol's Metro. Postmodern, spacious concrete world under District of Columbia make a great impression on someone used to dirty platforms of NYC Subway or narrow corridors of Paris Metro. |
