\"\"<\/a>In January, our club will visit the sites around the Old Post Office and Clock Tower.  This is a wonderful winter destination for urban landscape, architecture, and street photography.<\/p>\n

We’ll begin our tour by gathering along 12th<\/sup> Street NW in front of the Woodrow Wilson Plaza where some may find their first shots of the morning.  Following our usual meet and greet, we’ll move indoors to escape the cold January morning.  We’ll enter the Old Post Office using the public entrance on 12th<\/sup> St.  A hallway outlining the history of the building will lead us to an elevator that will take us to the top floor of the main building with a view of the renovated hotel atrium.  The exhibit continues to the clock tower elevator where we’ll go up to witness the views from on top of the third tallest building in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

When we’re done peeping at rooftops and the outdoor temperatures have warmed up, we’ll return to the street for some external shots including views of The Capitol down Pennsylvania Ave.  We’ll also go on the hunt as we wander our way around the Woodrow Wilson Plaza picking out the nooks and crannies created by all the paths in and out.<\/p>\n

Depending on the outcome from our meet and greet discussions, we may decide to visit one of the nearby restaurants for lunch.  There is also an indoor food court in the Reagan building.<\/p>\n

A lot of renovations have occurred since our last visit in 2008:<\/p>\n
