After touring the historic Washington monuments display and the NPS tribute, we (or more correctly, I) decided to also see the model train exhibit, which in reality was a series of re-creations of iconic national parks and sites in the National Register of Historic Places, all made from plants and other natural materials, with some model trains running through, around or above them. I must add that this exhibit was staged in a darkened gallery, and the lighting was in very unusual colors.

Well, this one probably looks a bit bizarre, but the light in fact was pretty strange, as is the model. This is the Teapot Dome Service Station in Washington State. The real thing really looks like a teapot with gas pumps in front of it, but I don’t quite see all parts of the teapot here, at least not very clearly ;-).
