The White House has an enormous lawn (the south lawn).
The White House close-up (using a zoom lens from the same place as the previous photograph).
Michelle Obama's White House Garden.
Can you believe this stately building is an office building? It's the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. And the entrance shown here (the south one) isn't even the main one.

The nice, historic townhouses on the west side of Lafayette Square, the square immediately north of the White House.
Lafayette Square has several gnarly trees.
The White House, seen from just across the smaller north lawn. From this perspective, the White House looks like a more modest size.
The White House, as seen from the same direction but farther away (from Lafayette Square), with the Washington Monument in the background.

The White House Visitor Center is in an enormous grand hall in the Commerce Building, a couple blocks from the White House. The wood ceiling relief is quite detailed, especially considering the size of the room. This picture shows only about a third of the space--the ceiling must've taken ages to carve!
