It is easy to take our national icons for granted. After all, we do see them everyday—and there are usually a bunch of tourists disrupting the peace. But nestled under blanket of snow, it’s hard not to notice how extraordinary this city is. Photographers from our Flickr pool did a great job capturing it.

National Geographic also shot some lovely video.

As did local filmmaker Ben Carver, who captured landmarks around Logan Circle.
