If you can’t bear crowds, I hope you didn’t attempt to visit the Solar Decathlon village on the National Mall this Sunday. The place was mobbed. That sign up there?

Thus, I tended to focus on exteriors…Here are a couple, including shot’s of the initial round of blue ribbon winners.I’ll post some more images later.
