I've been there! Nice shot of the place - I like the cop standing in the middle of the road.

What a beautiful archway! I love oriental architecture but never thought of there being any in the DC area.

I like the way you stand in the middle of the street for this. I'm assuming there was no traffic? Great shot with lots to look at - especially the cop who seems to be looking right at you.
