Caption: EVERY SUNDAY Washington DC's Meridian Hill Park comes alive. People of all walks of life, young and old, their percussion instruments in tow, gather in the scenic space on Sixteenth St.
Through the afternoon and well into the evening, their collective efforts fill the neighborhood; a musical backdrop to the day's activities.

Caption: Most days people in this city keep to themselves, withdrawn into their own worlds without even a passing "hello."
But Sunday's drum circles are different.

Caption: ON SUNDAYS There is a real sense of community; a drum circle needs unity to make music. Just as the musicians come together, so does the crowd, joining in the festivities and enjoying the company of their neighbors.
It's revitalizing, this shared experience, and is a force that draws us all back week after week.
