McPherson Square Is Occupied

It seems that we end up walking past nearby McPherson Square several times each day. Not only does it face the wonderful Georgia Brown’s restaurant and host the nearest transit stop, but it just seems to be along the way wherever we are going. The square itself is awash with the tarps and tents of Occupy DC. You are being transferred to the updated version of this post at https://explorationvacation.net/

In Search of Ansel Adams – Part 2: At the Department of the Interior

When the building was constructed at the end of the ‘30s, 1% of the construction cost was dedicated to art. Hence, the murals. (On this tour we only see a portion of them, as a number are undergoing restoration or are otherwise inaccessible due to building renovation.)

In Search of Ansel Adams – Part 1: At the Wilderness Society

We have an appointment this afternoon to tour the Department of the Interior’s murals, including photographs by Ansel Adams.
