While visiting NWS in Maryland, back in 2016, I spent a day walking around Washington, DC. The Americans will cringe when they hear that I passed by this body of water and thought for a moment that it was the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. “A bit more natural than I was expecting,” I thought. I kept walking until I ran into the real thing: “Oh, that’s it.” 😅

Another random fact I remember of that trip: I was asked by four separate people to take photos of them. Twice by The White House, once by the World War Two Memorial, and once in the lift of my hotel. The last one was a local getting ready for an event of some sort and wanted me to take a photo of her in her dress.
