The domed building that rises above the skyline is the most striking feature of this panoramic aerial view, and its listing under Washington, D.C. suggests it is probably the U.S. Capitol. The river winding through the scene is likely the Potomac, whose banks shaped where the capital's early streets and monuments were laid out. Panoramas like this became popular in the early twentieth century, when aircraft and new camera techniques let photographers capture an entire city plan in one frame. Worth noticing is how clearly the street grid, rail lines and waterfront appear together at a single glance.
