OMG, I didn't mean to make that picture such a mystery. I felt when I posted this blog I'd forgotten something... it was the short paragraph explaining that scene!

Yes, the two buildings on either side of the street are part of the Department of Agriculture. Its headquarters occupy several blocks in this part of Washington, DC. The overhead in the foreground is officially called the Wilson Arch. Yes, it's a pedestrian crossing linking two buildings so employees don't have to go all the way outside the main doors and walk a few blocks to find unlocked doors in the next building. And it's named not after Woodrow Wilson (my first guess) but James Wilson, secretary of the department about 100 years ago.
