Capital Dome, West View, October 2009

Last month I found myself in Washington on business but the evening were free so I wandered the monuments and memorials along the national mall, with my camera, of course. I've found the national mall and the Capital Building area to be crowded - like a busy day at Disney World - during the day. At night, it was quite deserted (except for the other photographers and the Park Police).

Unfortunately, I could not find my small tripod before leaving on this trip so I had to make due with timed exposures while the camera rested on a solid object. Some of these series of photographs (this and the next four posts) obviously rest on an object. The solid object here was a park bench along a walkway on the mall side of the capital.
