Washington, DC

The first day was hot, humid and grey.
It was my first time inside Washington since before 9/11.
Like so many things in my life these days, the place did not live up to my memories of how it used to be.
Storm fences, barricades, police and other security measures are obvious everywhere.
Worse, I kept making mental comparisons to my recent visit to London.
There is no comparison!
The disappointment and lack of inspiration it caused shows in some of the early shots.
Luckily, it cooled off (a little) and the sun came out the second day and I managed to capture a few images that are worthy.

This really is an amazing collection of DC shots. Having lived in DC and having returned on many occasions to meet up with friends, this gallerie brings back many pleasant mamories. You have captured the city in a light that is not generally portrayed on a post card. This really is fantastic.
