The National War College at Fort McNair in SW has one of the most beautiful locations in DC right at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers. Built in 1907 by McKim, Mead and White architects the grand structure has both Neo-Classical and Beaux-Art Classical elements with huge distinctive Ionic Portico’s that can clearly be seen from all around town.

It’s amazing that this shot, taken with a Sony DSLR-A100, was just a simple exposure, nothing fancy. Don’t the clouds look like they were painted on? [FlickrPhoto: Shmaktyc]
