Return to the Mall

Here are a few shots from my first trip back to the Washington Mall after the summer in Salt Lake. 

I never noticed how in the Lincoln Memorial it looks like Lincoln is about to stand up and walk

On a nice day you can see the Washington Memorial reflecting in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

HELP!!!

As a newbie starting out in this hobby I have decided I am extremely grateful for digital cameras with memory cards that hold upwards of 500 pictures. I tend to stand in one place and snap off as many shots as I can hoping one of them will look good enough to print or post. Usually I am fortunate to get one decent shot. Today, I found a gorgeous spot and ended up getting a few decent shots. Now I need your help deciding which photo is the best. Look at the pictures below and then answer the poll I've placed on the right side of my blog. Thanks for your help!

The polls have closed and I would like to thank everyone for participating. By an overwhelming majority photo #2 was selected as the reader favorite.

Francis Scott Key Bridge

I woke up extra early this morning to head out to see the sun rise on the Francis Scott Key Bridge heading into Georgetown. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the trip.

The Key bridge just as the sun was starting to rise 

This is a view of the insides of the bridge, it has this sort of surrealistic feeling to me

Fountain just below Capitol Building

I'm not exactly sure the name of this fountain, but I think it's pretty cool. It's just below the Capitol on 1st Street as you head out onto the mall. I think it might be called the "Flamingo Fountain" but I'm not exactly sure, there's a lot of fountains in DC with a lot of different names.
