The Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) buildings look like an 
apartment complex with a good gardener.
A sample of the "transportation walk" showing objects and information 
related to transportation.  This area surrounding the D.O.T. is nice.  
Note the landing gear and old bicycles.  Not shown: informational signs 
in windows, plaques in the sidewalk.
A charter school that looks like a castle.
In the National Museum of the U.S. Navy, a model of the first underwater 
breathing apparatus.  It wasn't very useful.

More than a thousand years later, a new underwater breathing device.  
Though primitive, it was definitely more useful.
A large sign explaining how the navy's scientific team in Antarctica 
lives.  I like seeing the list of food they brought.  However, I really 
photographed this for the last paragraph about bathroom usage.  It's 
kind of shocking.
