In the shadow of the Capitol

Sunday was the Rolling Thunder parade, which takes place every Memorial Day weekend. 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 have other pictures with the statue on the dome not cut off at the head, but I liked this one better because of the riders (not because of the way the background turned out ;-)).
