3D flyover of Washington DC

I woke up feeling patriotic this morning. There is no better way to honor one's country than by checking out the capital. I wsan't feeling up to flying there, so I'd figured Google Earth could take us. Lets see what we find!!

Washington D.C. has some gorgeous buildings, and the mall area itself is a wonderful urban space. Its obviously worth a visit if you've never been. Special thanks to the Google Earth community for all this wonderful 3D building imagery that has been created! A lot of America's cities are starting to look very realistic.
