Washington DC Is Blanketed With Our First Snow Of 2010

Once in a while, DC gets a big snow storm. Surely, the one started yesterday is a record. And, it is still snowing. Translation: all the clubs are closed. So, what to do?

Around 1:00 am, I decided to grab my Olympus and head out to take pictures of the beautiful sceneries around Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan. Enjoy the venture with me.

First thing first, I needed my Kebob before heading out. My Middle Eastern instinct became very handy – Classic Elias’ style chicken Kebob in the fireplace:

It was just gorgeous around the house:

I was surprised to see many of the local bars including the Dupont Circle’s main landmark, Kramerbooks Bookstore and Cafe were opened:

My last stop last night was at the Russia House:

Washington was even more beautiful this morning. First thing I did, I made a visit to the apartment nearby where my handsome boy was born about thirteen years ago:

Which is next to the gorgeous French Ambassador residential house:

More photos from Dupont Circle area:

And of course, the Rock Creek Parkway:

Slowly entering Adams Morgan:

First stop was at Tyrst:

More of Adams Morgan:

Finished the trip by saluting my mecca

This was pretty close to snow I experienced in Tehran two years ago:
