Part of my backtracking must include a visit to Washington DC and Alexandria, VA, last October during the CleanTech 2017 Conference. The conference was excellent and busy but we had time to get out and about to take some photos in the Alexandria area as well as an evening in DC on the Washington lawn.
I had never seen the US Patent Office. It turned out that the conference was just around the block. They have a lot of my patents and patent applications in their files ;).
Here are some views of the impressive building and campus.
And then the Vietnam and the Korean War Memorials. The Vietnam memorial first.

The Korean Memorial is also very impressive:

Of course, we saw the Lincoln memorial and walked around to the Washington and WW2 memorials:
I hope you enjoy these photos. I have many more but these provide you with a few views. The weather was drizzly but that made the lights and reflections special. Also, the sounds of the city are different.
