B&W makes it look almost gothic. I have a photo in the garden on the other side.
It's a lovely, incongruous building, tucked between all the big, concrete museum buildings.

Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6) and the Phase One back, shifted vertically a bit to maintain geometry.
This is a straightforward composition showing the front of the Smithsonian Castle, which is not actually a castle, and, despite being part of the Smithsonian, not actually a museum, either (it houses mostly offices and a small visitor center). It sits on the National Mall, which, despite the name, is not a shopping center. Lies and deceit are everywhere in DC!

@mattblaze@federate.social The flag is a nice detail. Hard to believe it's just 1/30. Must have been windy.

@nblr@chaos.social I think that was frame-averaged over a minute or so.
