The imposing main entrance to the Library of Congress.
The grand public buildings in DC are funny; these regal, towering entry ways seem to be more for tourists than for actual building users. After getting my library card, I entered the library through a tunnel from one of the other buildings. I think that was the case for other places (like the national archives) too, given where the giant lines of tourists were. I guess that makes sense; it makes the buildings accessible to the public while still letting them be functional, working spaces as well.
