National Columns

When you think of Washington DC you think of monuments, memorials, museums, the Capitol building and the White House. This trip to DC with my photography club introduced me to my new favorite place to visit. Since it's not one of the main tourist destinations there were few people there. It was a wonderful open area with flowers, trees, paths, beautiful scenery and the National Columns.
 
The National Columns were part of the Capitol building from 1826 - 1958. They were placed in storage for many years. In the late 1980's they were restored and in 1990 they were placed in the National Arboretum.
