The washington monument, lincoln memorial and capitol seen from the Potomac River.
After the four days at the tidal basin, I got a little tired of going. So, I decided to try out a different spot.
washington monument
This shot was taken while I was practicing for the cherry blossoms. I was trying to scout out good locations for sunrise and sunset and stumbled upon this amazing view of the Monument.
This morning at the Washington Monument.
At first I didn’t think it was going to be that great of a sunrise. There were some nice clouds but it took a while for the colors to actually show. So glad I stuck around for a bit longer.
Uhh was that beer bottle there the whole time? I just noticed it while I was processing this picture. HAHA!
So, I had another image planed for todays post, but I finally made out to sunrise this morning and it was AMAZING! So bump that other picture til Monday! Can you blame me?

Happy Weekend everyone!
Angela from the future: Thank you all so much for your support on this image. It’s amazing the response I’ve gotten from it. I really appreciate all your kind words! Here’s my reaction to the day.
Am I the only one who’s sad that it’s almost the end of the summer? But the exciting part is that Hurricane Irene is suppose to hit. It is it really photographer-ish of me to be excited for cloudy skys, and beautiful sunrises and sets. And who knew we would get an earth quake in DC?
Watch me talk about it in my vlog here:
This past week, I had a great time shooting the weather.
First I showed you guys an image I took back in June of Kenilworth Aquatic Garden’s Water Lilies.
Then I didn’t plan on taking this shot, but I’m really happy with all the color in it. It’s a view of Rosslyn, VA from DC.
At the same time I took that shot, I took this image of the Washington Memorial at sunset. I went back to this same spot the next morning and took of a picture of the Tidal Basin at Sunrise.
Last, but not least, I visited Alexandria, VA for a sunrise image. You can definitely tell something is coming our way.
Hope everyone stays safe this weekend!
