Murray-Murphy

An overdue series of Murray with a haircut!

Berlin Wall

This was also at the Newseum. The plain white wall was the East Berlin side. They kept it whitewashed so they could find people with the spotlights as they tried to escape. The other? West Berlin, very colorful and vibrant - in spite of being graffitti! And the tower? That was where they shot from if they caught you trying to get over the wall.......... You could step inside the tower and they had the sirens playing, creepy. Reminded me of the Holocaust museum - very sobering.

Twisted Metal

These photos were taken at the Newseum. This is a piece of the antenna that stood atop one of the Twin Towers in New York City. In the middle photo, behind the metal is the Wall of 9/11, with every headline from around the world.

Tulips at the Tidal Basin

There were lots of tulip beds near the tidal basin. I took a few photos, and these are the one's that came out the best.

Trip to D.C.

The next several entries will be from my trip to D.C. Hope you enjoy them!

This year, even with overcast weather, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom during my visit to D.C. And thankfully, the only day we went to the tidal basin, the sun shone and the temp's warmed.

It was a beautiful day..........

Before...............

I'm getting a haircut tonight! Boy do I need it!

A Colorful Ceiling

My ugly water stain! The good news is that it appears to only be a flashing problem and will be fixed for a few hundred dollars! Thank goodness, a new roof was certainly NOT in my budget for 2008!
