Today’s Top 5

Horse hitching post?

Just to the right of the lamp post in the center of the photo is a smaller post with what looks like a short rope and loop. Is this possibly an equine hitching post, hardly used any more since these four-wheeled things came along?

Same abutments

It looks as if the bridge itself has been replaced over the years, but the stone abutments appear to be original!

Arlington House

Look through the second truss from the left and you can see Arlington House, Robert E. Lee's old house in the middle of Arlington Cemetery.

14th Street Bridge

Looks like this was taken along the Mount Vernon trail looking south, just under the 395/14th Street Bridge.

Ohio Drive

It's Ohio Drive Southwest with the two bridges next to the Potomac. It appears as though more bridges have been added between them.
