What I see: A rather involved construction project on the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the White House, near the fence line.

What I learned: The Secret Service & National Park Service are partnering to replace 3,500 feet of fence around the White House. When the project is complete a new 13 foot tall fence will replace the current 6 foot 6 inch fence.

Pro tip: For the next few months, the best views for photos will be from the Ellipse on the *south side* of the White House; instead of Pennsylvania Ave.

Questions I have: Will the project finish on time? Will the experience viewing and taking photos of the White House be significantly different after the change?
