"Not For Sale"
Washington, DC - April 1998 (Click to embiggen)
That title was actually more amusing when I used it on the World in Black & White because the new President had only recently taken the Oath of Office. But it still fits. And since I'm writing this in late February, there's no way I can know what's transpired inside those walls between the writing and the reading. Hopefully a lot of good has come from the change, and hopefully by the time you read this we're starting to see the results. But these things happen in their own time. When I took this shot, this was the residence of the last Democrat to occupy the Oval Office. Hard to believe the things that have happened in the interim sometimes.
Stumble This!

I hope you are not disappointed.
Definitely a good one for black and white. I have high hopes for the current occupant although he's inherited quite a mess from GW.
Good reflections around black and white!! Glad i am nok the lady of the House ther.... washing all those windows :-)
Excellent choice. I just watched his speech for the 100 days. Brilliant. The guy is a natural, and I still believe he is the right person for the job.
Hooray for the Black and White House!
a classic creative post!
Timeless..............

Iconic image. Well done.
Wonderful image! I agree with one of your other comments - timeless definitely comes to mind.
The new tenants are nice, they planted a garden and got a dog ... and have a much better relationship with the neighbors than the last tenants had ...
I did notice "not for sale" lol
I like Daryls comment...:-)
this is a classic photo already - but its not the time it was taken, this photo will not loose its essence to American people.
Perfect for a monochrome! Love it!
