Eh, at least it's banal and not horrendously ugly as the one here in Ottawa!

(The American embassy here looks like a semi-futuristic fortress that smacks of the stereotypical militarism and arrogance that unfortunately some associate with America. What's worse, in recent years they blocked off a lane of traffic on each side of the embassy just to protect it from car bombs - so the scene looks even more arrogant and paranoid than it normally would.)
