All Is Quiet on the Western Front - Capitol, Supreme Court & Library of Congress at Dusk

With the high temps well in to the evening, sometimes it is a better idea to take a walk later in the day -  particularly if you are not a morning person. My husband does not like ambling after dinner, but will do it if he gets claustrophobic. I, on the other hand, love to walk at dusk. This part of town changes dramatically from day to evening. And it is the end of August. A lot of people don't return to town until next week. The streets are empty and you feel like you are about the only humans on earth - kinda weird in a city like this. So we strolled past the Library of Congress Jefferson Building and Neptune Fountain. The lights flickered on at the designated time. Across the street the Capitol dome shines through the scaffolding. Further along is the Supreme Court. Believe it or not, the back side of the Supreme Court also has interesting features. One can see glass chandeliers hanging in the offices above. And as we meander down Pennsylvania Avenue the full moon rises overhead. It's a bit busier along this route with the restaurants open, but still much quieter during this vacation season for Congress. And as always, my husband asks what we would do if we ever left here? I don't even answer anymore.
