The unexpected tour of Washington DC

As I flew into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on my way to
New England I saw a dome like the Capitol Building. I thought to
myself "No, that can't be THE Capitol building" – I almost completely
dismissed it. Then as we continue to descend, the Washington Monument
came into view. I couldn't believe it. It was amazing! The airport
would only be a couple of kilometres away from the National Mall.
Pictured above is the view I got as we departed DCA bound for
Manchester, NH. The tall concrete structure is the 'Washington
Monument', the dome building at the end of the long grass strip is the
'Capitol Building' and the grass strip in between is known as the
'National Mall'.
