San Antonio, Texas
The Alamo, in San Antonio, Texas. Early morning and facing pretty much due east, so shooting into the sun couldn't be helped…
Some fairly questionable public art in downtown San Antonio, Texas
A huge tower of some sort in San Antonio, Texas. Presumably one can travel up and down it. Like the Space Needle, except…not.

The Texan flag. Farewell to Texas…

Some buildings adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Some more buildings adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The EPA. Yes, it still exists.
I hear they made a movie about this place. Perhaps that explains why the line was so long an hour before they opened on a Sunday.
The first of several sculptures of questionable artistic value in Washington, D.C.
A segmented woman, or something
I have no idea what the heck this is
A naked woman! Quick, call Ashcroft! Cover her shame!
This looks like it had the potential to be a pretty neat sculpture of, like, a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, but it's just weird.
I'm sure there was something that looked just like this at the Capitoline Museum in Rome.
A statue, I think of Mr. Smithson (as in Smithsonian?), in Washington, D.C.

"Plaster Rock" is a pretty silly name. Sounds like a kind of prop from the early Star Trek sets. "Is it a rock?" "Nope, it's just plaster."
Yes, Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! is in fact a real place in Québec. The post office sign should confirm that.
