Pictures from a run on July 1st 2009. The map is below, but I ran from Cleveland Park to Georgia Avenue down to U Street back up through Adams Morgan and then over the Duke Ellington Bridge to Woodley Park. Finally I went back up Conn from WP to CP. The pictures are in reverse order from the end of the run to the beginning:

Some U Street Buildings; or maybe it was Florida Avenue.

I like pictures of baseball diamonds, this one was on Georgia Avenue and Euclid Street NW.

Proof that Euclid Street NW exists. I had a high school math teacher who would talk about Euclid streets during class for random reasons. Mr. Balliff: Expect this photo in the future.

Some businesses on Upshire just past Georgia Avenue.

Another baseball field on Georgia and Upshire.

Some graffiti alongside the road.

Same field on Upshire.

A bridge in Rock Creek Park. I think technically the bridge is in Pine Branch Park, which is a smaller offshoot of Rock Creek.

The bridge in the distance.

And the Map.

Well this picture isn’t from a run or DC for that matter. Last week my parents hit a deer while on their way home from Jud, North Dakota. They were both fine, but their Ford Expedition was not:

The whereabouts of the deer are unknown at this time, but it must have been a large deer, even the radiator was completely destroyed. The truck had to be towed at least 20 miles to Jamestown, and my parent’s had to borrow a car to drive home to Fargo. Oh yeah, it happened on Father’s day so my dad probably would not call the 2009 iteration his favorite.
Here’s the map of the photo, this time from Flickr:

Anyway, I just thought the actual photo was mildly interesting.

Its a hot June here in DC, here’s my list for June 26th 2009:
- Cold War Kids – Robbers And Cowards: “Red Wine, Success!”
- Band of Horses – The OC Mix 6: “The End’s Not Near”
- Red Hot Chili Peppers – By the Way: “Can’t Stop”
- The Strokes – Is This It: “Barely Legal”
- Cold War Kids – Loyalty To Loyalty: “Mexican Dogs”
- Blink 182 – Blink 182: “Down”
- Spoon – Gimme Fiction: “I Summon You”
- The White Stripes – Get Behind Me Satan: “The Denial Twist”
- Box Car Racer – Box Car Racer: “There Is”
- Yellowcard – Paper Walls: “Shrink The World”
A Blink/BCR and Cold War Kids heavy mix. I’m certainly not complaining about the Pop/Punk Rock feel of this week’s list, although I’m wondering where that OC soundtrack came from because I’m 100% certain that I’ve never seen the show.
What’s on your list this week?

Here are my some more pictures from my run this morning, June 26th 2009. Today I actually carried my old Sony DSC-P100 Camera in my pocket so the pictures should be a bit less grainy. The pictures are again around Cleveland, and Woodley Park in DC:
Looking south in the direction of Dupont Circle from the middle of the Connecticut Avenue Bridge which goes over Rock Creek Parkway below.
Looking north toward Woodley Park from the same Bridge.
The lamp posts on this bridge have cast eagles on top. I like eagles generally, and it is getting close to the Forth of July.
A building in Woodley Park is looking down on us.

A picture of the trees that grow below the Conn. Avenue bridge over the Klingle Valley.
A look at the commercial part of Cleveland Park. This shot from Macomb looking north toward Ordway on the east side of Conn. Avenue.
Further up Conn. Looking south toward Ordway.
Finally, a picture of the Firehouse here in Cleveland Park. The road was really busy so it was pretty lucky that the picture I took didn’t have any cars in it.
Once again here is all of the pictures on a map of the Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Rock Creek Park Areas of DC.
