 This is one of those photos that most people dont even know exists. But, if you walk to the back of the White House (ellipse side), there is this doorbell. Nothing happens when you push it though!

While taking this photo, I was stopped by several tourists asking what I was doing. I explained and none of them took the same shot. I'm surprised.

Hmmm ... what is your point exactly? I love a mystery. I like the intrigue implied by this.

Interesting picture. I'd have desatured the background to make the lettering more prominent.
