Stars of Gold

Stars from the WWII Memorial in DC. One star for every 100 American dead. Four thousand stars in the memorial. I can't help but think about the "Gold Star Mothers" of WWII, hanging a star in the window when they lost a son.

Men of Stone

From the Korean War Memorial in Washington. I visit this every time I'm in DC and think of my dad while I'm there, looking at the statues and wondering what it was like being there (he was a SeaBee). I love you Dad.

EOB

The roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next to the White House. I really liked the lines and colors, during sunset.

Stockman Rasquith Montano

Detail of the Vietnam War Memorial. I am always awed when I go there; it feels like a sanctuary. I don't know the people named here, I picked them randomly. I do like the red reflection (someone's shirt).

Monumental

This is, uh, the, er, ... oh yeah, Washington Monument. I always knew nothing in DC could be built taller than this monument, but it didn't really dawn on me until I saw this from across the river on the way to Reagan National. It really stands out.

My postcard shot from our DC trip!

Rocky Puddle

When I stopped at High Falls the other day, the gorgeous light had been replaced by clouds. I hope to head back more days to capture different kinds of light.

Playing around in the weeds and my f/1.8 lens. This looks kind of weird, I suppose, but I like it.

Grey

I'm still not sure I like this. I've processed it three different ways, and this is the best I've come up with. It should look good, but I'm just not sure....sigh.

Steeple Chase

Let me know if you like this. It kind of struck me as interesting, or maybe it's just cliche.

I came across this building when leaving Augusta this afternoon. The color caught my eye, so I spent a few minutes exploring.
