Another photo from the National Cathedral in DC. This time a statue of George Washington. Cleaned up with Snapseed.
The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, popularly known as Washington National Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. Of neogothic design, it is the sixth-largest cathedral in the world, the second-largest in the United States and the fourth-tallest structure in Washington, D.C. The cathedral is the seat of both the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori, and the Bishop of the Diocese of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde. In 2009, nearly 400,000 visitors toured the structure. Average attendance at Sunday services in 2009 was 1,667, the highest of all domestic parishes in the Episcopal Church that year.
The arbour. Snow by Georges le Brun, 1913.
Although heavily influenced by Symbolism, Le Brun remained open to all forms of avant-garde expression, and followed the changes and developments of the Neo-Impressionists. His interest in this can be detected in the subtle interplay of light.

This was taken at the Bostonist.com meetup where we took photos in Boston's North End. Having never been there, I was very happy I went as there are some great Italian pastry restaurants.

George Calinescu (June 19, 1899, Bucharest - March 12, 1965, Otopeni) was a Romanian literary critic, historian, novelist, Academician and journalist, and a writer of classicist and humanist tendencies. He is currently considered one of the most important Romanian literary critics of all time, alongside Titu Maiorescu and Eugen Lovinescu, and one of the outstanding figures of Romanian letters in the 20th century.

David Lloyd George - The 'Welsh Wizard' - raised in a cobbler's cottage in Llanystumdwy, near Criccieth - was a champion of the poor and disenfranchised. Lloyd George stated, “Four spectres haunt the Poor — Old Age, Accident, Sickness and Unemployment". He was the founder of the Welfare State. His introduction of the Old Age Pensions and National Insurance was a great gift to the people of Britain. Standing up to the House of Lords, when they sought to block his reforms, was a monumental contribution to British democracy.
Lloyd George was the man who, as Minister of Munitions, Minister for War and eventually Prime Minister, helped to lead Britain through The Great War, and whose courage strengthened the nation's resolve in its darkest hours. In its aftermath, he played an important role in encouraging world leaders to sign the Treaty of Versailles.
Yet controversy was never far away and still continues to be the subject of much debate.
It must always be remembered that this was the first British politician to rise from humble origins to Number 10 Downing Street. The only Welshman to hold office of Prime Minister. His upbringing was crucial to the formulation and execution of his radical ideas later in life. He never forgot what it was to be poor, and he had a burning desire to improve the lives of the working class people.
