Class Description

Description

Overview of DC: A Photo Safari from the Central Place Tower Observation Deck!

If you are sitting on the right side of your plane, you see the Arlington Skyline and then the Pentagon. If you are lucky enough to sit on the left side of the plane, you see all the beautiful monuments and the Capitol on the National Mall. Your view lasts about 20 seconds and then it’s gone! If the plane’s wing is not in the way, you might even get a picture!

Now you can experience that view at your leisure with your feet planted firmly on the ground, AND get beautiful pictures at the same time by joining us for this exciting new photo Safari from the 35th floor rooftop Observation Deck of the Central Place Building Tower in Arlington VA, just slightly west of the airplane flight paths.

We have arranged an exclusive Washington Photo Safari visit to the Tower, giving you a 360 degree view for about 50 miles in either direction from windows that are even at a higher elevation than the Washington Monument!

To the Southeast there is the Pentagon and National Airport. To the northeast you see the beautiful National Mall with all the monuments. To the north you see the Kennedy Center, the Watergate complex, the Potomac River, Roosevelt Island, Washington Harbor, Georgetown University and, in the far distance, Washington National Cathedral. It is a comprehensive angle view of DC even better than that seen from the Washington Monument!

What to Bring:

  • Camera
  • Lenses
  • Extra memory cards
  • Extra charged battery
  • Accessories such as filters
  • Weather appropriate clothing

Tripods are not allowed on the Observation Deck, so if you bring one, you will not be allowed to take it with you.
