National Gallery Visit

It’s always fun to visit the National Gallery of Art. We like to go there not only for the weekly photo challenge opportunities, but also to see any new exhibits. We also like to visit both the classic west building and the modern east building and go through the light tunnel that connects them both. This time we started at the sculpture area, then to my favorite Monet section. I often wonder how many of the people wandering through the building live near by. When we were heading to the modern art side we saw a father with his young daughter watching the waterfall that cascaded down the side of the building from the fountains are on ground level. We used to have lunch here when we lived on Capitol Hill. The connecting light tunnel always reminds me of space mountain. There are digital sketch stations set up throughout and usually they are taken advantage of. It’s easy to spend a lot of time there. All I know is that this time of the year is the best time to visit any of the places in the mall. It’s between seasons and it’s just so much nicer!
