Sad state of the Jefferson Memorial

The new camera had some problems with the cherry blossoms (previous two pictures) but seems to have nailed the Jefferson Memorial, even from a moving car. Not a picturesque view, but it’s actually the best vantage point for seeing the fungus that has attacked the once-magnificent dome.

I remember hearing about that, such a shame. I like this view with the Washington monument in there too. V

in a world dripping with chemical solutions to so many problems it seems surprising that a remedy cannot be found...still a good looking structure though..

Nice capture, Helen.. Someone needs to spay some bleach on the dome..
