what a beautiful home, and I would want that fence to keep others out if i lived there... i like the first photo a lot.. and my favorite is the lampost at the end. great shots.
When I resided in Washington, DC in the '60's, great years for the most part, monstrosities such as concrete blocks and bollards keeping tourists, house peepers, and even terrorists (who would have ever thought!) at bay, such as what are there today, did not exist. . . . and it was easy to take a tour. Yes, those gates and fences are beautiful - and the building itself, although not overbearing and palatial, is an elegant place. Hopefully it will someday, once again, house a truly great President and staff!
Happy Christmas dear Jeanne - may your holidays be wonderful and new year full of special blessings. Hugs - Mary
Wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat gate looks like an Art Deco style - is it?

Great photos of the White House.
ReplyDeleteIt used to seem big, but now with so many people living in huge mansions it doesn't seem that big any more!!
