    Looking west from the Capitol building about 30 minutes after sunset. Folks, it pays to be in the right place at the right time. I did a little color saturation to the blue and orange colors to what I remembered them to be.

    Nice work Scott! You really were there at the right time. We don't see sunsets like that very often around here.

    Micheal,

    I took that Monday evening on the 14th. I originally planned to be up there the night before but it was raining heavily with a major east coast cold front pushing through. The next day I watched as the clouds moved out and the sky became clear (not hazy). I was like..oh, yeah, it's going to be a good night for shooting! Lucky, yes, but I took full advantage.

    After shooting around the Capitol, I moved down to the Lincoln Memorial for this photo. This is an angle I've seen before but since people are always different, it's unique in that way. :)

    World War II Memorial.

    I had my daughter, who is the granddaughter of a WWII veteran, stand where she was silhouetted by the fountain. She is facing the Atlantic theater end which is where my Dad served.

    What stores do they have there? H&M? Hollister? Just kidding but those are seriously beautiful.
