I finally went to explore a hidden gem in DC. This is the headquarters of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. As the orientation video I watched pointed out, the building was designed by the same guy who did the Jefferson Memorial, National Archives, and National Gallery of Art. The building is quite extraordinary. I learned a lesson through taking and processing this photo. I thought that I could take five image brackets for HDR in a dim room and I shouldn't have tried…

House of the Temple, Scottish Rite Freemasons Door

Thousands of people might pass by the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis every day, but few take the time to actually tour the interior of the building. It easily one of the most impressive buildings that I have toured in the country. Guided tours are free and highly recommended.
