The Capitol and the Sculpture Garden

We wanted to tour the Capitol so we headed out fairly early in the morning. There was already quite a line when we got to the ticket booth. Our tour was about an hour later so we killed a little time walking around. Here's the set.



I still have a thing for metal grates in the ground.


I like the rainbow effect in this one.


Then we ducked back into the Botanical Garden.




Then we went on our tour. Here is our guide.






That was about for the Capitol for us. Then we walked over to the Sculpture Garden. We saw this on the way. So many pretty water features in DC.


We thought this building was cool.


There were a lot of interesting things in the Sculpture Garden.


This one cracked me up. There will be a lot of younger folks who won't know what this is.




These cubes were all spinning.


This is by Alexander Caulder. We have one of his sculptures in downtown Grand Rapids.


I think this is some kind of aluminum, like the one with the spinning cubes. I'm glad the sun was shining when we saw them.


Not sure if this is supposed to be a political statement. :-)
