FLORIDA AND CONNECTICUT

The two most important states in the WH '08 race? No! Well, maybe — but Florida's ever reddening and Connecticut's steadfast blueishness makes this unlikely. But the confluence of two major streets in the District? Now, that I can do.

A month or so ago, on the way back from the Orlando Letelier monument on Sheridan Circle, I walked smack into the nexus of two fairly major state streets in NW Washington. Having plenty of shots (and batteries) left to kill on the digital camera in my possession, I tried to get a panorama view. Weeks later I'm trying to piece it together in Photoshop, with few skills left over from my OC days.

So here is the more-artistic narrow B&W version:




And if you want to see the taller, larger full-color version, there is this:




It's not my everyday DC (that is to say, I don't cross this intersection too often), but it's somebody's everyday DC (and it's pretty much par for the course in the NW quadrant). And if it's not all that great to look at — though I bet you'll get a kick out of trying to figure out that 6-way stop — then it's at least kinda fun.

NOTE — Click on either picture for the full panorama. Just making sure, that's all.

UPDATE — Parenthetical remarks added later for clarification.
