Touch Up D.C. #2

The notion that Capitol Hill is its own little world becomes reality in Flickr user tim kelley's imagination, as he applies a popular planet-style photo editing job to the Capitol and its environs.
Bored this weekend? Try out your photo editing skills in our ongoing Touch Up D.C. photo contest, throughout the month of August. Upload your entries to Flickr and tag it with "touchupdc." We'll be posting entries we love a few times each week until Labor Day.

Grumble. Stupid flickr.
doug, why don't you just email me your entry? sommer at dcist.com
"Touch Up DC" is an awesome feature--hopefully people will keep them coming (I lack a digital camera and photoshop skills myself). Thanks!
Did anyone else have the theme song from Katamari Damacy start playing in their head when they saw this?
cool. It sort of reminds me of a drain....
It made me think of the poster for "Big Fish," for some reason.
These suck. Please kill off this feature. And please try to come up with your own feature instead of just grabbing some other city's shit (I though you guys were against chains and franchising and that sort of crap).
Capitol Hill: the Anus of America
Nice visual metaphor...although it reminds me of the How High movie poster: http://www.thezreview.co.uk/posters/posterimages/h/howhigh.jpg. Classic if you like Method Man and/or Redman, but not the most highbrow of films:P
