Washington, DC

A building I saw during a tour of congress. I'm curious as to what it is.

Statues of an eagle, a woman and a snake winding around a column. Surprisingly, the snake seems not to be a baddie - it is representing knowledge.

A statue of a woman on a chariot with a clock as the wheel.

I'm not sure what it is. Probably the local mosque.

While waiting for a tour of congress, I checked out the nearby glasshouse. In a room dedicated to endangered plants, I saw a Wollemi pine, a plant that doesn't live far from Sydney.
