About Washington Post "Seven Wonders"

In imitation of the international group that selected "the New 7 Wonders," the Washington Post travel section sponsored a contest to pick the "Seven Wonders" of the Washington area -- which they defined as "within a four hour drive of Washington".

This group is for photos of the seven wonders themselves as well as the other 13 sites that were finalists.

Washington, DC and suburbs: Lincoln Memorial, National Cathedral, US Capitol, Washington Monument, C&O Canal, Pentagon, National Mall, Jefferson Memorial


New York City: Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Chrysler Building

Pennsylvania: Fallingwater and Independence Hall

Virginia and Maryland: Dulles Airport, Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Monticello, UVA lawn, Skyline Drive, Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

I'm thinking that "the National Mall" isn't just the piece of grass, but also includes the museums and monuments along the Mall (e.g., Vietnam, WWII, Korea, Air and Space) that didn't make it onto the list in their own right.

Obviously, there are many other spectacular places in and near Washington that didn't make the list (like the White House, Arlington Cemetery, Iwo Jima Memorial, Roosevelt Island, etc.) Please cooperate in keeping the group's focus by posting only photos of the 20 specific sites that made the Post's list.
