Government Printing Office

I caught sight of this old light fixture as we were driving by and could only shoot it from the stoplight, but it reminded me of the many beautiful lights around Washington that I had photographed more than 10 years ago in one of our rare assignments here.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

The whole facade with the old windows and frames plus the lamp shows expert craftsmanship of a past time. Just beautiful.
