I have a lot of learning to do wrt photography, but this is a shot I've wanted to take for a couple weeks. I was finally over there on my bike... It's taken from Mt. Olivet Road, towards Brentwood, above Corcoran Street. Note to the people who think that the Trinidad neighborhood was named after Trinidadians...

Corcoran Street (you can see the sign at the bottom of the photo--click through for a much larger version)is named after W.W. Corcoran (of Riggs Bank...), who owned the land and named it. The land was donated to what became GWU upon Corcoran's death (which shows how long GWU has been in the real estate business).
