Here are our favorite new images from the Greater and Lesser Washington Flickr pool, showcasing the best and worst of the Washington region.

The equinox this week means that fall is in the air. Celebrate by hitting up one of the region’s farmers markets, like this one near the White House. Image by ekelly80.

Opera in the Outfield — another great use for the brand new Nats Stadium. We love how close it is to the Metro, and we can’t wait until more development occurs in the area. Photo by willandbeyond.

Benches, or “street furniture” as it’s called in the industry, are a good way to make streets more people-friendly. Sit down, chat on the phone, or make a new friend. Picture by fromcaliw/love.

Silver Spring has really sprung in the last few years. This is a nice shot

of the new, vibrant nightlife happening in the downtown area with lots of

people and places to see. Photo by Sabine01.

DDOT rolled out new bike facilities complete with bike signals, bike boxes, and protected contraflow lanes at 16th Street and U Street, NW. We love the new signs. Image by fromcaliw/love.
