Lincoln Memorial Circle, 15th Street at the Washington Monument, and Barney Circle

by Kevin H. on Jun 6, 2010 2:11 pm • linkreport

First one is a mirrored image of Lincoln Memorial Circle, with the trees inside the circle being adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial and Memorial Bridge being just off the top of the image clip.

Second one is an older image of 15th and Madison NW, before the concession building in the northeast corner was built and the sidewalks approaching the Washington Monument were redone.

Third one is obviously Barney Circle.

The first photo is the south side of the circle around the Lincoln Memorial. The last is the end of the Southeast Freeway at Pennsylvania Avenue. I can't place the center one.

by Josh B on Jun 7, 2010 8:54 am • linkreport

not going to venture a guess, but I love the idea of this.

by M.V. Jantzen on Jun 7, 2010 8:57 am • linkreport

All right, I'll take a stab at it... I've only lived here for two years, but I think I can narrow it down:

Lincoln Circle SW, 15th Street & Madison Drive NW, and Barney (sort of a) Circle SE.

:)

1) roads around Lincoln Memorial (Memorial Bridge top right)
2) 15th street to east of Washington monument
3) ???

by ah on Jun 7, 2010 9:06 am • linkreport

First one: Back of the Lincoln monument. Other two: no idea.

2. Madison Dr & 15th St NW near the Washington Monument

3. Barney Circle SE, where Pennsylvania Ave intersects the SE Freeway

Ah, finally think I know one of these! #1 Backside of Lincoln Memorial, waterside steps down to Rock Creek Drive and the Potomac, #2 15th Street just east of Washington Monument, and #3 Sousa Bridge/Pennsylvania Avenue circle with 11th street bridge traffic coming underneath.

by Steve D on Jun 7, 2010 10:29 am • linkreport

#1: Lincoln Memorial Circle

#2: Not sure, but I can tell you it's not the ellipse, not 15th st. around washington monument, and not jefferson drive around the smithsonian castle. Are you pulling a fast one on us with Lincoln Mem. Cir. again??

#3: Sousa Bridge entrance/Penn Ave/SE Freeway

Lincoln Memorial Circle view North/Northwest from Southpoint on circle

15th St. NW at Madison Dr, view looking North

Barney Circle

by Will Handsfield on Jun 7, 2010 11:09 am • linkreport

#2 is 15th St as it passes through the Mall. To the left would be the Washington Monument. The side street is Madison.

#3 is the intersection of Pennsylvania Ave, SW and the Southeast Freeway.

#1 I got nothing.

by Josh S on Jun 7, 2010 11:21 am • linkreport

The first is the entrance to the memorial bridge by the lincoln memorial, the second is 15th street by the washington monuments (the intersection is with madison drive), and the third is barney circle SE, where the SE freeway abruptly ends.

by Andy G on Jun 7, 2010 11:56 am • linkreport

From L to R: Lincoln Circle, 15th St near the Washington Monument, and Barney Circle.

by Greg Greene on Jun 7, 2010 11:57 am • linkreport

They're roads!

But really:
1. Memorial Circle
2. 15th Street by the Washington Monument
3. Pennsylvania and the Southeast Freeway

by Steven Yates on Jun 7, 2010 3:29 pm • linkreport

#1 -- Lincoln Memorial Cir (with the stairs to the river and Rock Creek Pkwy in the upper left corner).

#2 -- 15th Street by the Washington Monument.

#3 -- Penn Ave at Barney Circle

by bayma on Jun 7, 2010 5:44 pm • linkreport

I think the one on the left is a shot of the area on the west side of the Lincoln Memorial.
