August is drawing to a close, and so too is our month-long Touch Up D.C. feature, inspired by our friends over at Londonist. Flickr user Schodts uploaded this entry to Flickr and tagged it with "touchupdc", showing us a WMATA Metro Map to Nowhere with a wintry snowflake theme. Add your images to Flickr or email them to sommer (at) dcist.com before the end of the day tomorrow to still be considered.

Flickr user Eximious Pictures uploaded this mashup up of the famous WWII propaganda poster "He's Watching You" with, what else, the Capitol, home of our beloved U.S. Congress. Though considering the origins of warrantless domestic wiretapping, perhaps this would have been equally if not more appropriate with The White House? Thanks for your entry, and keep them coming by either emailing them to sommer (at) dcist.com or uploading them to Flickr with the tag "touchupdc."

Flickr user Julianasur, aka web designer Juliana Diaz, uploaded this trashscape of the area around the National Mall as her entry to our August-long Touch Up D.C. feature. Is it a damning political statement, or a creepy apocalyptic vision of the future? Or both? Thanks for your entry Juliana, and remember that there's only about a week left to tag your touched up photos in Flickr with "touchupdc" or email them to sommer (at) dcist.com.

Flickr contributor easement whipped up a few choice entries for our August Touch Up D.C. feature, but this one won hands down as the favorite of our editorial staff. We're sure Apollo Creed is furious. Don't forget to flex those photo editing muscles before the end of the month, and send in your entries either by emailing them to sommer (at) dcist.com or tagging them with "touchupdc" on Flickr.

Flickr user randomduck imagines the Washington Monument as a stake in the world's largest game of horseshoes. Besides who could possibly be playing this game (giants, God?), the other question of course is what would be on the other end of the pitch. The Capitol Dome, perhaps? Send your touched up photos of D.C. through the end of August to sommer (at) dcist.com.

Ryan Orr submitted this reworking of a recent photo of his to include tanks defending Washington from an attack by Godzilla. Perhaps the giant lizard came to town searching for Mothra, whom he was mistakenly told holds the position of United States Congressman from Pennsylvania.

Hopefully andertho doesn't mind reader Michael J. West using his recent Photo of the Day as the backdrop for his Touch Up D.C. entry, titled "Star Wars Tunnel.” Stabilize your rear deflectors, watch for enemy fighters and keep those touched up photos coming, either by tagging your Flickr photo with "touchupdc" or emailing them to sommer (at) dcist.com (looks like a lot of you who don't regularly use Flickr are having trouble, so yes, emailing them in is fine).

Flickr user Doug Moore uploaded this photo for our Touch Up D.C. contest, titled "The Intern," that shows the hapless student making his way to the Capitol along a dark and dusty road -- that kid's going to need a real suit before he starts his internship, don't you think?

Don't forget, tag your entries of creatively re-imagined scenes of our city with "touchupdc" in Flickr, as we'll be posting a few entries per week through the month of August. Or, if like Doug, you're a new Flickr user and your tags aren't working properly, feel free to email them directly to sommer (at) dcist.com.

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.

We've already received a few submissions to our August Touch Up D.C. photo editing extravaganza, so here's our very first selection, by Flickr user htlvhwy, titled "Tessie, the Tidal Basin Monster." The serene paddle boaters are a particularly nice touch to this mashup of Scottish folklore and American tourism. Well played, htlvhwy!

In case you missed yesterday's announcement, inspired by our sister site Londonist's regular Touch Up London feature, we're going to run the best submissions we get from our readers of creatively re-imagined scenes from around Washington, D.C. Upload your best Photoshopped entries to Flickr, tag them with "touchupdc," and we'll post them throughout the month of August as a way to beat back those humidity blues.
