This must be a file exactly like one I have been waiting for for decades. I've always wondered how it might really look in Washington, D.C. A cursory exposure to imagery from there via films (True Lies by Cameron, I think, will have been one of them) and photographs has always left me in awe concerning the monumental buildings of the place, with the bad feeling that I certainly still am far from a satisfactory familiarity. Recently I've looked in again, a little bit, with the help of Google Earth. Alas, on Google Earth one does not get proper walking tours, only isolated 360-degree views. These will typically stem from roads, rather than from the routes one can walk farther away from cars and exhaust gases. I have this file in a Watch-Later list, now, but will certainly also return to it in case I should overlook it therein.
Hello Hans! Thank you so much for watching as always! DC is an absolutely gorgeous city and its really unique among the big metropolises of the United States. I'd definitely be interested to hear your commentary on the layout and design of the monuments! Thanks again for watching!
@@Odysseyvisualmedia So far I have only watched the start image, I've not yet clicked in. I cannot process all of your videos that quickly - as I've said, because they aren't shallow enough to be consumed like mass merchandise. One commentary I can make already now, nevertheless. I've been born _(reborn,_ to be exact) not only close to the Neander Valley ("Neandertal", in German), but also close to Duesseldorf. And it seems to me that Washington, D.C. is a current reincarnation of the Duesseldorf of my last life as Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946). Hauptmann was in Duesseldorf in 1926, living in one Parkhotel during a series of tours to other, surrounding cities of the region. He another time came in 1932, on this occasion to deliver a speech. The current USA largely seem to be a 'reinlocation' of the nothern Germany of those years, with current Canada largely being a reinlocation of the Netherlands of that era. This fits on my impression of the District of Columbia being a reinlocation of Duesseldof (otherwise based on the similarity of the names and on the geometry of the cities' outlines and set-scenes) inasmuch as Duesseldorf, as the capital city of Northrhine-Westphalia, much is in the position of a capital of the most populous coherent area of what once has been Prussia. That Prussia largely was what one can call "northern Germany" if one divides Germany into a northern and a southern half. A part of the Prussian cities of that era are now quite obviously reinlocated in Europe (Halle as Geneva, Dessau as Lausanne, Chemnitz, apparently, as Marseille, Leipzig as Lyon, Berlin as Paris and / or Moscow, Breslau as both Brussels and Vienna), but -apart from- save an area south of Berlin with such cases, the cities of that Prussia currently may well for the most part be returning in the US. I'd be eager to identify a reincarnation of that Parkhotel - I'm quite sure that such a structure will exist in Washington, D.C. It might even be easy to find such a copy - but also for this I currently do not believe to have sufficient energy. I'm too heavily engrossed in reading and writing space operas. _[Only change highlighted by crossing out former version]_
@@Odysseyvisualmedia I have now watched nevertheless - the tour has started on its own, somehow. It's downright grotesque to see such an accumulation of epitomes of that very own style of the USA. This is not very grave a style, but it also isn't really shallow. It's a sort of a _practical dignity._ You've also filmed some pretty maidens. If they are typical types of citizens of your country, that country will hardly die out very soon.
