What a beautiful photograph... the flowers in the background match the young ladies dresses - great composition and color!!!! Love it.

I love how, even though this was taken over 60 years ago, those buildings look almost identical today.

glass window -- totally agree -- it's fascinating.

There's such a European look to the architecture and landscaping, I had to do a double-take to be sure it said this was D.C. The people in it are intriguing, too; I wonder whether they were models or actual servicemen and their dates? I like how the polka-dotted woman's right arm is motion-blurred, and how neatly the stripe-skirted lady's feet are pressed together.

I Love it, I love it! Look at the way those girls are dressed..

Beautiful composition - I wonder where the photographer took the shot from to get that angle. Lovely!

@Dayetriper: There are some stairs that go up either side of the building which John would have been standing on looking down. Those fancy lanterns are at the base of the large marble banisters.
