Solar Decathalon

Images from the Solar Decathalon competition. The challenge: build an entirely solar-powered house on the National Mall in ten (?) days.

Note the aquatic plants above.

The Lone-star state team. Yes, those cowboy hats are actually hard hats. Take a close look.

The Maryland team.

Solar Decathalon

There were lots of plants in all the designs (above and below).

The best part about this was I simply stumbbled on it as I was walking around. I love this city!

40 Rounds

One of my favorite pictures I've taken recently. From a statue a stone's throw from the White House, right next to the Treasury Building. Sorry, forgot the name of the little square it is actually in.

The fair had flamenco dancers...

And lots of food.
