Whitehouse

The Whitehouse from the Mall, Washington, D.C. I had the telephoto resting on a fencepost with a long exposure to snap this picture. You can see the lamp posts along the mall lighting the way.

Washington Monument

It was dark and overcast on Saturday evening. The well lit Washington monument surrounded by its ring of illuminated US Flags stood out quite starkly against the purple-gray skies. Every now and then steam from a vent at the base would snake up the sides of the monument in an eerie, ghost-busteresque sort of way. It made for quite a show.
