Monumental reflection

Washington, DC view map

The Washington Monument is mirrored in the Reflecting Pool about 25 minutes
after sunset on a clear evening in Washington, DC. The U.S. Capitol can be seen
behind the Washington Monument. This is an image that has been captured by
photographers and tourists about 10 million times, but I felt the need to make it
10 million and one. Additional images of Washington are included in my Cities gallery.

Nice capture. It really doesn't matter how many times others have taken a picture of the same thing --- and it certainly doesn't stop me from trying to get the same picture.

Sure it is 10million and one but I am glad you took it. Spectacular image with great detail in the monument and Capitol building. I tried that shot too but kept blowing out the highlights. Great job. V

Stunning! I have seen plenty of this monument, even taken some. Nothing like this though! Superb.

How can something that beautiful be photographed too much! Excellent!!

stunningly simple, perfect shot!

Bryan Ramsay		02-Sep-2006 12:47
Pat, I really like your blue sky! You'd be wrong on the guess though, the WWII monument is not that old (a couple of years) so the its lights at the end of the pond wouldn't be there from shots over a couple of years ago! Grea shot! GMV -BJ

John Beck		28-Jul-2006 12:29
100 Million would probably be closer but I don't know if I've ever seen one this beautiful. Maybe it's the blue sky. Whatever, this is beautiful. v
