Tree-lined Foggy Bottom street with pedestrians and the Roti Modern Mediterranean restaurant. Woman looking down and holding her long, teal-and-purple-tinted hair, wearing a colorful striped sweater. A crouching person lets sand sift through their hands. People laughing together around a laptop in a bright library. Two women study at a wooden picnic table, one reading a book and the other writing in a notebook. A woman looks across a canal toward historic waterfront buildings as a small boat passes. Crowd of adults and children at an outdoor gathering beneath trees, with people holding signs. Foggy Bottom’s Watergate complex beside a curving riverside road at dusk.
