Some of the best sights in the city are in Rock Creek Park:
Even in the middle of being repaired, the Dupont Circle fountain looks wonderful in the snow.

We’re grateful that there are a lot of good ways to spend time outside during the winter here. And for the piles of snow that make even the most familiar scenes look unusual.
Thanks for the reminders about the beauty of winter and the things for which we should be grateful. I love that you looked at the subject from so many perspectives.
Thanks, appreciate it!
Wonderful winter images, and appreciative of all the elements of fun and the work that must go on!
Thanks, it’s sometimes surprising how there can be pleasures of winter inside a city.
Most people associate winter with gloomy and cold conditions, but I see beauty and fun. What a contrast! Thanks for letting me see things differently.
Thanks! – we are all trying to look for a few signs of cheer and beauty during this dark time.
Wonderful images.
Thanks, Gina!
