I shot this at the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress at the DPC Washington, DC GTG. I had visited this building two years ago, almost to the date, as a guest of two members of another digital photo site, who work at the Library of Congress. They gave me a guided tour. I did not have any fast glass then and I was very happy to go back there to shoot again.
This area was on our way out of the building. giega shot it as well....do you think he will enter it? Hope mine is better.

Congrats on the POTD! This is a very intriguing perspective shot, with the way the arches carry your attention from right to left back and forth into the distance.
DPC score would have been much higher if you had been able to use a tripod and stop down to f11 or so to get the distant arches in better focus. The uniform existing light helps a lot with this shot too.
