I visited Constitution Gardens earlier this week and found parking along Constitution Ave very near the Albert Einstein Memorial. Though I'd seen it many times before I'd never stopped to take photos.
This 21-ft-high bronze statue was unveiled in 1979 and unlike all other memorials in DC (that I know of), visitors are free to touch and/or sit on as desired. Apparently, a favorite thing to do is rub Albert's nose as it's quite shiny at this point.
The memorial is directly across the street from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the corner of Constitution Avenue and 22nd St NW, Washington DC.
En el centro, el físico Albert Einstein, posando el día de su 44 cumpleaños en un salón del Hotel Universo y de las Cuatro Naciones, en la calle de Don Jaime I nº 52, frente a la plaza de Ariño, el miércoles 14 de marzo de 1923. La instantánea se tomó tras una pequeña “fiesta aragonesa”, en la que la niña que le acompaña acababa de bailar una jota. A su lado, Elsa, la esposa de Einstein. Tras ellos, de pie, el catedrático de Física Jerónimo Vecino Varona, el pianista Emil von Saüer (alojado en el mismo hotel) y Manuel Lorenzo Pardo, secretario de la Academia de Ciencias. Completan el cuadro los miembros de la rondalla. El célebre alemán se marchó este mismo día de Zaragoza, a donde había llegado el día 12 procedente de Madrid, tras ofrecer sendas conferencias el lunes y el martes en la Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias.

Albert Einstein quote. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist and violinist. He developed the general theory of relativity. This work was created after reading the compelling biography of Einstein by Walter Isaacson.

Someone told me this puppy knows how to pose for the camera. I guess he was feeling a little silly today...

Siguiendo con el muñequito. En esta ocasión he puesto en practica la "técnica Polaroid" que Carmen Romero ( www.flickr.com/photos/carmen_moreno/) explica en su blog:

On the papers in Einstein's left hand are three equations summarizing his most prolific scientific advances: the theory of general relativity, the photoelectric effect & the equivalence of energy and matter.

The Einstein Tower, designed by Erich Mendelsohn, was built in 1919-1921 for the Astrophysical Observatory Potsdam (AOP) to prove the relativistic redshift of light in the gravitational field of the sun. Though the (unexpected) turbulent surface of the sun prevented astronomers from confirming this effect until the 1950ies, the Einstein Tower has been a successful solar observatory for nearly 100 years now. It is still used today, especially for obervations of magnetic fields on the surface of the sun.
The dome houses a Coelostat, a combination of two mirrors that track the sun and reflect it's light down inside the tower. The tower is built around a fixed, vertical solar telescope with a lens of 60cm aperture and a focal length of 14 meters. The light is analyzed by spectrographs installed in the basement of the building.
Besides astronomy, the Einstein Tower is known as a noteable example of expressionistic architecture.

“Logic and Creativity”, the latest mural by San Fernando Valley artist Levi Ponce featuring Albert Einstein, aims to raise awareness in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, while presenting an inspiring role model to students.
This Monday, January 27, 2014 @ 10:00am the Magnolia Science Academy, the Reseda Neighborhood Council, and 11:11 A Creative Collective invite you to attend the unveiling this mural. There will be a short presentation, refreshments, and a chance to meet Levi personally!
