I revisited the Washington Temple on a beautiful morning in October 2003. I was impressed with the architecture and landscaping, and the photo possibilities.

The Washington D.C. Temple is the third largest of all the LDS temples. From the outside it doesn't have any visible windows; but from the inside, you can see that the windows are marble which is thin enough to be translucent.

I'll just put some more photos here without any particular comment.

I had never seen a plant like this one before. Those blue leaves are about 2 feet long.

Leaving the temple was fun. I had stayed the night before in Frederick, Maryland, and was headed for Fredericksburg, Virginia. I got my Fredericks mixed up and mistakenly took the exit for Frederick instead of Fredericksburg. It took me about an hour to rectify that mistake. My rental car didn't have a compass, so I never knew what direction I was headed. Earlier I had bought one of those rotating ones and glued it onto the dash. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it adjusted correctly, and it always said I was headed west. That was OK if I actually was headed west, but useless otherwise.

Comments.
