Washington DC by a good margin.

Boston is a great city but this poll is about photos and it should not be so close. Obviously Washington DC is the nation's capital and has a big advantage for picture taking.

Washington DC, good photo shots of the White House, the Washington Monument, the Capitol, Jefferson Memorial, the Smithsonian, the view down the mall and the reflecting pools, the Vietnam Memorial, the WW2 Memorial.

and many more.....

I'm not that great of a photographer. Just your average photo taker and I was taking these with my phone because when I moved out here I forgot to pack my camera.

Anyways I took a bunch of pictures from yesterday afternoon, cant upload all of it fast enough but here are some of the ones I took from last evening onwards. These are some of the better ones of different facets of Washington.

Here's some more of the stuff I took pictures of. City Data needs a faster way to upload pictures from camera file. This is the "urban canyon" that people are referring too. It's awesome how every building is like 13 stories and the same height, it really adds to the "leveled" canyon affect. Washington DC's downtown looks so beautiful in the evening between 7-8 PM when the sky is glowing blue and the street lights reflect off the buildings of the canyon environment. Awesome!!

More of the pictures that I've taken from yesterday evening and most of today. Night time pictures taken from the top floor of the Willard. Right in front of the Capitol is a picture from the Botanical Gardens.
