My parents first took me to Washington D.C. as a pre-high school teenager. I have the family pictures to prove it. The memory that has stayed with me years later is how magificent the capital building and monuments looked at night. I am fortunate to travel there on business (or otherwise) fairly frequently. I look forward to slipping out after dinner to take a few photographs. I had hoped to post this in time for Veterans' Day but computer "issues" (I now have a new system board) delayed it. I selected this image over others because the conjunction of the water from the WWII Memorial (foreground), the towering Washington Monument and the distant Capital Building. So, as a diverenge from the natural beauty I like to portray here, I thought this would be a way of remembering the dedication of others so we have the privileges we do.
