Capitol in Hiding
by Helen Betts

Washington, D.C.

This is the Congressional Christmas Tree, partially hiding the view of the US Capitol. I guess I really like these national Christmas trees! But this one was far easier to capture than the one with the White House, and it was far less cold :-).

Really nice Helen. Can you believe I've not been down yet! I passed it once on my way to drop off my stepdaughter at Union Station. John

Startling... It almost looks like 2 different images overlapping each other...

Great shot. I love the contrast between the colorful tree and the almost monochrome building. Excellent job.
