Photography
What's That? #6
Welcome back to What's That?, the weekly game on GGW.
It's week #6 and you know the deal: Each week I show small close-up photographs of three different well-known places in and around Washington, DC. The first person to get all three wins recognition of his or her genius when I reveal the answers a few days later.
Post your guesses in the comments. We're making small change from the past: comments will be hidden until the winner is announced. I'll credit the first person to get each of the three individually as well as the person who first correctly guesses all three.
Good luck!

Smart Growth
Add jobs, retail, and housing for all income levels in walkable places like

Parking
Drivers create substantial traffic by circling endlessly for scarce parking. Use pricing to manage curb space and dedicate the revenue to providing alternatives to driving. Read posts »
Architecture
Preserve our row house neighborhoods and beautiful architecture that engages pedestrians visually and functionally. Eschew bad modernism that turns its back on the street and the starchitects that peddle it to "make a statement." Read posts »
Education & Safety
Make our urban areas desirable places for people and families of all ages with the highest quality education and safe neighborhoods for all. Read posts »

#1: One of the two fountains at the top of the Meridian Hill Park.
#2: Absolutely no idea.
#3: I'm going to say the Capitol Building, but not the West-facing side. I can't think of too many buildings that have regular-sized windows directly behind columns...
