First, going back to February for a sunny day shot of 1221 Van, as seen from South Capitol Street with Nats Park's Garage C in the foreground. (link)
A current ground-level view of 1221 Van, as seen from Half Street on not-sunny Opening Day 2017. (Note that the rendering seen on the fence is of 1221's sibling, West Half, which is supposed to start construction Any Minute Now.) (link)
What 1221 Van looks like from inside Nats Park. This image was taken by a JDLand friend attending the game, unaware that the shot was capturing your photographer at work (the yellow blob). (link)
What the Nats Park field looks like, size-wise, from 1221's roof. (link)
A wide-angle shot showing what the full field of vision is from the 1221 roof, but at the expense of making the field look much farther away than it is (which is why the previous photo was shown first). See a larger version here. (link)
Nice view from the office for these construction workers. (link)
A good zoom lens capturing Stephen Strasburg on the mound to start the 2nd inning. (link)
A wide shot of part of the infinity pool and its view of the ballpark. (link)
The view to the northeast from the roof, showing 55 M, F1rst, the Half Street Hole, and the shrunken Fairgrounds footprint. (link)
N Street, and the late-arriving Opening Day crowds. (link)
Looking at the Anacostia River, and catching the DC Water O Street Pumping Station, where construction is underway to build the new headquarters building. (link)
The view to the south-southwest, where unfortunately the Camden South Capitol apartment building obscures the new DC United stadium footprint. (link)
Ft. McNair and National Airport. (link)
Southwest DC. (link)
A wide-angle shot of Southwest DC, and a couple of familiar landmarks. (link)
Looking across 1221's courtyard to see the units that face toward South Capitol Street. (link)
A more representative shot of the size of the Capitol dome as seen from the 1221 roof. (link)
The footprints of West Half (bottom) and 1250 Half (top), where construction on these two residential buildings with scads of retail fronting Half and N streets should be starting Any Minute Now. (link)
One more view of the infinity pool, with Southwest DC and Virginia in the background. (link)
