Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is a traffic circle (roundabout to UK readers) and also a district of Washington. The district is part of the “old” Washington, and is home to many impressive buildings, including a number of national embassies. The traffic circle itself is also an impressive piece of greenery in the city. Dupont Circle is also known for its thriving gay community, and it hosts a number of lesbian and gay events through the year.

The traffic circle itself is quite impressive

With a fountain in the middle of it

Looking down Massachusetts Avenue from the circle

Lots of places to sit and enjoy the greenery

Not many people out and about at this time of the day!
