A dense island of evergreens and deciduous trees floats in stillness on Whitefish Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park. Shot during fall, a few yellow-orange trees begin to shift color, hinting at the seasonal transformation. The glassy water perfectly mirrors the forested shoreline, creating a peaceful, symmetrical reflection. This photograph was shot by Duncan Rawlinson while exploring Ontario’s Algonquin Park.

This photograph captures the monumental architecture of the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C., as seen from the plaza between the U.S. Department of Commerce (left) and the Federal Trade Commission headquarters (right). The curved façades, classical columns, and limestone cladding reflect the Neoclassical and Beaux-Arts styles that define much of the Federal Triangle—a historic area encompassing key government buildings built primarily in the 1930s.
To the left, the Herbert C. Hoover Building houses the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its inscription on the frieze—listing services like money orders and savings bonds—underscores the department’s broad economic influence. The building's Corinthian columns, symmetry, and monumental scale evoke democratic ideals and public service.
To the right is the apex of the Federal Trade Commission, an elegantly curved structure with a more restrained but equally powerful Classical Revival design. Visible in the plaza is Bearing Witness, a dark abstract sculpture by Martin Puryear. To the left, Federal Triangle Flowers by Stephen Robin adds a dynamic contrast with its large aluminum floral forms emerging from the fountain.
This central courtyard forms a symbolic and functional passage between government institutions and serves as a public space in the heart of D.C. Shot on an overcast day, the subdued lighting enhances the gray tones of the stone, allowing architectural details and symmetry to shine.
