Washington, DC November, 2016 Newly cleaned Capitol & Calder mobile



For the past couple of years, the Capitol has been covered in scaffolding while the work of repairing and cleaning the structure was in progress.  It was to be completed with the scaffolding removed, before the January, 2017 inauguration for the new president.

This photo is taken from the new rooftop sculpture garden of the E. wing of the National gallery.

You can easily see the beautiful ivory coloured dome and congress buildings.  At sunset it really glows.

The massive Calder mobile is in the centre court of the E. wing of the National gallery.  I wanted to remember the striking arrangement of the court ceiling.  It is too complex to capture with a normal camera casually.  I have used Google images to show the E. wing better.
