To the Beach
... and the oldest one is made of steel beams and girders. Double Crested Cormorants galore. Many gulls on the beach in many different stages of plumage. Very difficult to spot the "odd one out". Still Laughing, Black Backed and Ring Billed I am sure about, but I surely must have seen others without noticing them. Mockingbirds were new to me, Goldfinches I had seen before.

Washington DC, The White House and the Mall
... huis valt een beetje tegen als je het zo in werkelijkheid ziet. Een stuk kleiner dan je eigenlijk denkt, maar goed... het is en blijft toch het witte huis. Flinke beveiliging om het huisje van de President heen heeft ook wel weer iets. Als je goed kijkt op de foto dan zie je zelfs beveiliging op het dak van het huis.
