Mosaic on the wall of Hunters Woods Elementary School (2401 Colts Neck Rd, Reston)

Not 100% certain who the artist was, but guessing Valerie Theberge who worked with the students at HWES to create mosaic works in and around the school. It certainly is her style.

DC Icons on the Pepco Substation on 1st St, SW across from Audi Filed. I’ll probably be disqualified since it took two photos to capture (screwed up the panorama)

Evidently that wall has a heart on.

2/13 David Smith, Cubi XXVI, 1965
The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden

My photo in Strava is much better, but this one has part of my bike in the foreground.

In the daytime it’s much harder to appreciate the intricate lines on this sculpture.

From the National Gallery website:
“David Smith worked as a welder in a car factory as a young man. Later, he emerged as a sculptor within the context of the New York School in the 1940s and 1950s, and applied his industrial skills to his art-making practice. He said of his preferred medium, welded steel: “The metal itself possesses little art history. What associations it possesses are those of this century: power, structure, movement, progress, suspension, brutality.” Smith most often created works in series, culminating in the 1960s with his celebrated “Cubi” sculptures made of cubic or cylindrical shapes precisely crafted, assembled, and polished by the artist. “I depend a great deal on the reflective power of light,” he said.”

Admiral Byrd Monument at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery. Security wouldn’t let me take the bike past the barrier for a close up.
