I think that’s the Watergate, but I’ve never seen it that early in the morning…

Is there a point at which we should reveal our spots, if no one has gotten it?

Yup! That’s the Watergate. That is one of my favorite spots in the city. I wish they ran the fountains more often.

That pic with the overlook is killing me, but I’m not going to get it if I have more time.

/edit – WAIT! It’s from Jackson Ave in Ft Myer looking down the hill at the city.

I don’t believe so. I’ll check tomorrow when I ride in. The building isn’t super special, but the lights are pretty unique. The building is surrounded by them. They’re kind of a modern design. It is either a place that you want to or don’t want to hang out when there are big protests.

IMF? I got it from your hint.

BTW, the new IMF president said she wanted to commute by bike before she came here. Wonder if she’s doing it?

Yup! It is the IMF. The building is kinda cool in a lot of ways. I like the stuff at street level. The lights and stone work are nicely executed.

Got it! It’s my favorite part of my commute home because it’s the TOP of the very big hill that really starts down by 110. I hate that hill. I pretend it’s three hills (you go up from 110, come down after the Iwa Jima, go up to the gate to get on base then it flattens out before the really brutal, last gasp, curvy hill that led me to invent a hill-song). But I’ve started to love getting to the top, glancing back at the city, and loving my commute (and then booking it over to the Henry gate before it closes). With the nights starting later, I almost feel like I’m going to miss the dark depths of winter. Almost.

Maybe we should start a “favorite place on our commutes” photo album/thread

I got caught taking this photo over the weekend…

Kudos to dcv for thinking up this great thread!

A quick review of the forum suggests this thread is the second most replied thread on the forum at 101 replies (the highest seems to be 125 replies on the lights for bikes thread). It may also have the highest reply density (replies/day) as well as a very high reply/view ratio.

Here is were we need some baseball fans to come up with a host of forum specific descriptive statistics.

Crap! Didn’t crop it enough to be harder. Next pic will show just 1 square foot of asphalt with a centerline stripe!
