Photo of the Day: September 15, 2008

Flickr user Marek_K's capture of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian is impressive enough. But I couldn't help thinking that the black and white - and the building's smooth curves - create a sort of inanimate companion piece to Colin Lane's improvised cover for The Strokes' 2001 Is This It LP. You have to admit, for D.C., that's one alluring structure.
