Unheralded JEFF OLSON: A Capitol View Posted on February 14, 2015March 26, 2015 by Jeff Olson The U.S. Capitol at the end of a cold Friday. Even the reflecting pool on the west side of the Capitol is frozen. Clear skies make for a long afterglow on the western horizon behind the Washington Monument. The Friday evening scene is seen from the National Mall just west of the U.S. Capitol.
