USA 2016 and beyond

My slow around-the-world trip continues with my latest home: Washington D.C.

A few weeks after I arrived in the D.C. area, there was a huge snowstorm It was the largest storm ever recorded in the area - 3 feet of snow Before and after I shovelled out my rental car Somehow, this would have been a better result, despite all the subsequent revelations Once the tallest building in the world, the Washington Monument still dominates the D.C. skyline No comment Space Shuttle Discovery at the Air and Space Museum Original SRTM Antenna!!! Alas, almost nobody notices or cares Again, no comment A few random US trips - San Diego Train Station Now just for Amtrak, but formerly the Santa Fe A California tradition Looking across the Mississippi at what remains of East St. Louis Mum visits me in D.C. and does some Christmas baking Airbus aircraft at an Ottawa trade-show Schwartz's - first stop on any trip to my hometown Random pic - a giant painting I bought in Bali Random pic - a second giant painting I bought in Bali The new car, after several hours of very salty Interstate driving
