That is a beautiful shot, Elizabeth. My concern, however, is that because Meridian Hill Park is included not only in the Columbia Heights trail but also Adams...
Well, it is physically located in Columbia Heights, and is at the "convergence" of U St and Adams Morgan as well. The image itself with water has movement and...

You mean the "pre-riot" Columbia Heights? I guess old timers like me might recognize it, but probably most folks around now just remember the vacant lots....
I'm going more for recognizing a feeling(s). Kind of like WOW but then upon closer inspection, amazingly intricate. I would love to get lost in there, btw...
