Now that we have a Greater and Lesser Washington Flickr pool, we’ll be featuring photos entered in the pool on a weekly basis.

Here are some of our favorites from our first week:

Mount Pleasant Street. Photo by abuelo_jack.

Soccer in the Circle. Photo by thisisbossi.

Park Road bike lane. Photo by abuelo_jack.

Convention Center Metro. Photo by urbandispute.

If you use Flickr, please join the group and submit photos to the pool. Photos should show off any great feature of a place in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, or show off a not-so-great aspect (such as the Park Road bike lane photo.)

We’ll look to pool photos to illustrate posts, and the Coalition for Smarter Growth may use some in flyers, presentations, and other materials.
