DescriptionMacDonnell witnessed this flock of birds soaring above the intersection of 14th and W Streets, NW. In the lower left corner, behind a stoplight, one catches a glimpse of the Anthony Bowen YMCA building, which was demolished and redeveloped in 2012. This view highlights the delicate balance between urban development and the natural world.
