The American flags around the Washington Monument. I intended to capture the reflection on the seating bench but I think the flags capture the show here.

When I met up with Zack one evening, I told him that I did NOT want to shoot the monument. But the sunset was amazing and that tall obelisk is like a magnet to my camera. I couldn’t help it.
If you’re tall enough (or can stand on your tippy toes long enough), you can see this great reflection of the Lincoln Memorial from the WWII fountains.
Today’s my birthday! I don’t have much planned for the day but I did request an Italian dinner with extra cheese 🙂
In between helping tourists taking pictures of themselves in front of the monument and the AMAZING sunset, I managed to capture a few of my own. At one point I had to start turning some down. I think people just assume that I know how to take pics just because I have a SLR and tripod… but that’s just my guess.
