Jefferson Memorial Wide

Washington, DC view map

Another very early morning shot, this time of the interior of this memorial.
I probably should have set up a little closer to the statue so I could get all
of the ceiling dome, but perhaps I will try that on another visit to the area.

I did clone out a camera backpack that some idiot photographer (guess who)
left on the bench on the left hand side of this image. Such are the unintended
consequences when not paying attention when shooting with a very wide lens.
Actually, such are the consequences when not paying attention, period.

Just popped by this one Sam - Super!
(I have a similar one - in daylight and by shear luck, absent of people too!)

Most impressive, and mesmerising.
Don't worry about the rogue backpack.
As Joe E. Brown said "Nobody's perfect." ;-)

deliciously distended, and hypnotic...good to remove the backpack too...they get left in the oddest places..V
