From downtown.

The US Capitol Building surrounded in smoke.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· 28d

And not a dramatic one like this guy.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jul 10

Ahem.

A bearded gent in a dark suit who happened to personally rule over the deaths of approximately ten million people in the Congo (victims not pictured).

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jul 2

10! 10 loud overflights. Ah ha ha ha.

Count von Count, the resident vampire of Sesame Street, famed for his counting. He is made of undead pinkish felt, and wears a fancy cape.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jul 1

My wife is apparently growing triffids.

Sunflowers, at least 10 feet tall, reach a second floor porch.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jun 22

The majestic scion of the wolf inspires fear in humans.

A white dog lies on a brown couch. The dog is upside down and sleeping. He is, in a word, derpy. There is also evidence of cats in claw marks on the couch.

Another view from the heart of neoclassical DC.

The National Mall. Visible is the Lincoln Memorial and part of the World War II Memorial, as well as two circus tents and a set of bleachers that totally ignore Speer’s theory of ruin value, as prominently featured in the Zeppelin field at Nuremberg.

The algae is not visible and thus must not exist.

Cat on (my) hat.

A tortoiseshell cat perched precariously upon a blue baseball cap on a bannister.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jun 20

Rembrandt’s The Storm on the Sea of Galilee. A boat in danger.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jun 20

Another view from the heart of neoclassical DC.

A Ferris wheel towed over the National Mall, the golden dome of the Natural History Museum behind it.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jun 16

Huh. It worked.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Jun 12

A view from the heart of neoclassical DC.

I’m not sure what sort of f’ed up Toy Story sequel I’ve stumbled upon whilst walking the dog, but I’m sad I won’t get to see the end.

A toy tableaux on a sidewalk. Two Smurfs (blue, with white hats, one with blond hair, the plumage of the female of the species, approach a wooden aircraft. On the other side of the aircraft, a police car and a dinosaur. It is unclear if the dinosaur is a sworn officer.

Retvrn?

The National Mall covered with 'temporary' buildings during World War II.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 28

"It's a cook book!"

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 25

I’ve walked my dog by this location in NE DC a hundred times before and this decaying tomb was never visible before. This is what redevelopment causes - rising ancient horrors.

A grey tomb-like structure sits behind a metal fence. The top is covered with dead vegetation, as if the Earth tried to seal it up but the evil within was too much. The corner of a modern building, soon to be accursed, can be seen to the left.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 24

Patrick Steward as John LeCarre's Karla, here in an Indian prison, shackled in a dirty white shirt.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 23

A starship with the title "The Spore Drive Broke Loose and Everyone is Covered in Mushrooms."

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 22

A shot of a space station with the title "Z'ha'dum".

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 22

A giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman looms in the sky.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 20

Stick figures sit at missile consoles.

"Sir-Strategic Command has sent us a lunch order."
"Don't they have anything better to do?"

Caption: Everyone complains about autocorrect but we forget about the time it prevented a nuclear war.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 19

A mock ad originally featured in the National Lampoon, showing a VW Bug afloat with the headline "If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today." The rest of the text is too blurry to make out.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 16

James Bond as a crow walking away from an explosion. (Explosion is off screen.)

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 15

The DC General Election, i.e. the Democratic Primary.

An envelope that once contained a ballot, a ballot that has now been cast. Two votes for my dog, one vote for each cat, and more seriously votes for mayor.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 9

Tennis cat.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· May 5

I wish I could sleep this well.

A white dog sleeping a brown couch, his head resting on a floral pillow. He seems content, unconcerned with the state of the world.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Apr 19

A cat tax, featuring two tortoiseshell cats, on staring at the camera.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Apr 15

It’s a good time for author’s copies, apparently!

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Apr 13

As requested.

A white dog lays on a blue pillow on a brown couch.

Alan Fisher@amfisher· Apr 7
