This one is known by all of you. Even if you never been to Washington DC you probably seen this here and there. But it never gets old.

Look at Me Honey
Back in April I managed to stop by the DC Cherry Festival at the Tidal Basin and take a few photos. If you ever been to one of them you’ll know that it attracts many thousands of people, and if weather is good then even more. This year cherry trees didn’t bloom for many weeks due to the cold March and when they finally opened up it was a zoo around there.
I had my NEX camera with me and instead of doing a lot of cherry shots I took a few photos of the people taking cherry shots, or someone else with cherries in the background. He was trying hard. She seems to not care.
DC Short
Pink Cherries
I’ve been trying to compile some photos from Cherry Blossoms festival I took last week and made a short movie for this Monday, but that didn’t happen, so instead the DC Short time-lapse is back today, but it follows but the Cherry Blossoms photo from last week. As for the video, I’ll try to get it ready for next Monday.

Memorials
Cherry blossoms are in full bloom this week. I thought I was not going to see it, as it was delayed and delayed, and it was suppose to be in full bloom last week, but it was still cold and didn’t happen. So this week I think it is a mad house around Tidal Basin, more likely tens of thousands of people hang out around there. I must try to see it as well and add one more body to the count.
This photo was taken couple weeks ago from the top floor at Marriott Key Bridge hotel. Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial appears very close to each other, but in fact there is about 1.5 mile between them. This is visual effect achieved via compression, this happens when you use high focal length, it makes things look really close to each other.
