Ice skating on the National Mall

This is the skating rink in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, sitting right in front of the National Archives. If I recall correctly, this was taken on one of those balmy days, but I guess it was still pretty cold out on the ice.

I had no idea that they had an area to ice skate. Terrific clarity and the image does project a feeling of warmth and vibrance. V

Its a great picture, the formal building in back of the people. I see the budget has a 20% cut in the State Dept.

A fun way to spend a sunny spring day. Nice to see what's available in DC apart from what's on the news!
