Sunday was the Rolling Thunder parade, which takes place every Memorial Day weekend. Hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists from around the country ride in the nation’s capital, continuing their 30-year tradition to make sure that the nation’s fallen haven’t been forgotten.

I’ve been undecided about doing a gallery for this. I took a lot of pictures, most of which didn’t turn out since I still don’t know how to photograph moving subjects (plus it was dark and raining so even harder). But I found the participants and their bikes fascinating, so I guess I’ll see what I ended up with.
