I used to always be able to count on parking on 22nd street. It was like my little secret spot to access the Lincoln Memorial easily and conveniently without worrying about occupied parking spots. I guess the people at Capital Bikeshare learned my little secret and decided to put a bike share stand there that takes up half the parking spots. CURSES!!! Now theres never parking there.
Oh well, Roosevelt Bridge is more scenic anyways…
Great day to honor a great man. Thank you Dr. King.
If you head to the tidal basin at the right time, the memorial GLOWS. Sunrise is the right time. *thumbs up emoji*
Studying the Lincoln Memorial architecture in the snow, I was just in time to catch the airplane flying over. The first time it flew over, I was lucky. Then I knew I could expect them to come every 10-ish minutes because the flights weren’t delayed due to snow. YAY!
I drive a coupe and those tires are horrible in the snow. I’m slippin’ and sliding all through my neighborhood so getting to DC would be terrible. So on snow days like this, I take the metro. It’s super convient because I live walking distance to a stop. But I never ride it more than when it’s absolutely necessary. I don’t know it’s just so much easier to hop in my car and drive myself. No waiting, no worrying about metro delays (cuz theres a lot!). This is the view you get when you get off of Foggy Bottom and walk towards the Lincoln Memorial.
Another way to escape these cold winter days, check out dupont underground. They’re currently running tours to this light projection tunnel and it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. It sort of reminded me of Stranger Things meets X-Files.
Quick stop at the National Gallery of Art and this staircase stopped me in my tracks. I must of looked like a mad woman because I was sort of hanging over the ledge trying to capture the reflections without getting my shoes into the shot. HAHA it’s ok though. Wouldn’t be my first time lookin’ all crazy just for a shot.
Hope to be back again with more time to explore. Now that it’s so cold out, I’d love to shoot more indoor stuff in the winter.
