New York Avenue Sculpture Project

I recently noticed some new sculptures on the median along New York Avenue near my job (between 13th and 14tth Streets NW). I waited until a nice weather day to check them out and take a few photos, only to walk right into the middle of a dedication ceremony.

Like yesterdays photo and the next few ones, more on this later, but clearly a theme might begin to become obvious for the week.

This also shot as an HDR in order to get good definition on the brick.

A very different kind of store....

I took today's photo for the 365 project, playfully titled “Smurf Orgy”, at a very different kind of store.  While out grabbing a quick coffe and pastry for breakfast.

Look inside to see a bit more about Sullivan's Toy Store.

Tai Shan the panda and ZooLights

With some family in the city for the day we decided to go visit one of DC’s most famous residents and one of the rarest animals in the world. Unfortunately Tai Shan, the 4 year old Panda Cub, will soon be heading back to the home of his ancestors. More on Tai Shan and some pictures of the Zoo Lights inside.

It's colder than it looks outside

So today was the first snow of the year for the DC area. Some more photos of our day out in the snow inside.

a building mostly known as the Zei Building

Work is still really busy, with the deadline quickly approaching I haven't been able to get back to the blog. But since we are talking about work, here is a little info and a photo on the place I've been spending a lot of my time at.

About a year an a half ago the office moved from our location in Georgetown to a building mostly known as the Zei Building. The building is located in the middle of a block accessible only thru 3 alleys, one which is Zei alley.

Originally an electric utility substation, the building was widely know around DC as the Zei Club for many years. After the Zei club closed the building sat empty for a few years. Today its the place were I've been spending most of my time.

A Cathedral find

In a city that boasts enormous and magnificent religious structures like the National Cathedral and the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, there is one gem of a cathedral in the middle of a neighborhood that goes mostly unnoticed.

More after the Jump…

A Rose for my Wife on our anniversary

A Rose….window… anyway. It’s our anniversary today, 4 years. So here is a picture I took from one of our favorite places in DC, the National Cathedral.

Plans for the weekend are a road trip thru Virginia, to a cabin near Laurie Caverns. So there will be some info on that on later posts, and if my phone works well maybe some updates during the trip.
