Fourth: The National Diner
by Helen Betts

Washington, D. C.

I've often driven past this diner and thought it would make a good picture; this challenge gave me a reason to go there specifically for that purpose. I had originally intended to take a shot of the entire diner plus the neon sign, but when I got there I loved the glass blocks, and this is what I came up with.

Cool composition - I love the lighting and color! I bet you can get a delicious, heaping plate of chololesterol there :-)
