I love the shoes and the hat. It's too bad we aren't as stylish on a daily basis.

Unless I am mistaken, the park is just north of the US Capitol at C Street between New Jersey and Delaware Ave. I'm not sure if it has a name. Trees now obscure the view.

Thanks for putting up these images, LOC, this is a fantastic idea.
We've featured this in our Photo of the Day on DCist for January 17, 2008.

I used to work right near there. I believe that park is called Union Station Plaza.

That's the area around the Senate Garage Fountain. My wife and I gave a try at duplicating this photo in the present day:

I wonder how they found a time that the area around Union Station was so deserted? Sunday morning maybe?

Perhaps she is a spy. The application of lipstick is the sign "I've made the drop". The redish-purple purse was the how she would be identified. The FSA (Farm Security Agency) was tracking her every move...
