Nicely done mate! I was going to say I am no fan of snow, but your images of it are very playful, such as with the mounded cars. The Stienbeck quote made me laugh, too. What is the statue(?) thing that is sticking up mate? Not the Washington Monument, I know that one, the smaller one, that sort of looks like a sparkplug?
I think my favourite one is the bare tree with the sun shining through it, with a close second being the quote about progress.
Hello there! Thanks for sticking around after all these years. Can’t promise I’ll be any more prolific than I have been recently. My motivation for this stuff comes in drips and drabs.
But to answer your question, the statue you mentioned is apparently a gift from Japan to the US upon signing a treaty in the 1850s. It’s actually listed on Google Maps as “Japanese Pagoda” so I was expecting something a bit larger but D.C certainly has some interesting things tucked away.

Nice to see you posting, mate!
