Georgetown and National Cathedral

Some ugly weather in the last couple days. A few weeks ago I thought I’ll be shooting cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin sometime this week, instead today it was snowing, then raining, then again snowing. Cold and unpleasant. No sign of cherry blossoms. They say it will be next week now, but I won’t be around here to see it this year.

This is a view of the Georgetown University from across the river in Roslyn. The National Cathedral is right behind it. I took this one last night. I’ll try to take one again when skies get clear and that smog goes away.

Just About

DC Cherry Blossoms are just around the corner, it should be in full bloom two weeks from now, March 26 to March 30. I took this photo last year on March 20th and plan to post maybe one or two from the last year, not sure if I’ll be able to make to Tidal Basin this year, I’ll try. Maybe you can too and we bump into each other not knowing it, as thousands of other visitors mingle around us.

DC Views

DC is on horizon here, if not for the Washington Monument I bet no one would ever knew that it is actually DC right there across the river. If you are wondering where I took this photo from, well, it is not a secret, you can actually take the same photo as well, just make your way to the Key Bridge Marriott top floor – it is like a conference hall, with nice 200 degrees views of the surrounding area. If you are not staying there, then you have walk in and proceed to the elevators like you belong… you know what I’m talking about…well maybe you know…

Friday Mystery Photo

I was flipping through the TV channels last night and spent a few minutes watching the live broadcast of the Carnival ship arriving in Mobile Alabama, and all the talk with passengers on the ship, asking them about their feelings and how they cope with last four days of that nightmare. What was interesting are the questions they were asking: “Are you angry about what happen to you?”, yes, who in the right mind would not be angry about it? “Are you planning to start any type of legal action?”, well, they probably will, why not, not just for emotional distress, but for at least one week of lost wages for most of those folks. Why ask these questions, over and over?

Now, back to the Friday Mystery photo, another one which I think will be recognized by many of you. Where is it? As always, I’ll reveal the location sometime over weekend.

DC SHORT

The short time lapses in this video and associated photos were taken over three different days, on different visits to DC. I’ll try to continue making additional short DC time lapses and maybe get all four seasons shown in one short movie, but we’ll have to wait for that at least another six month.

If video is not shown in the browser or applications then visit it at DC SHORT from Dmitrii on Vimeo.

And this is one of the stills that you see in the video. As always you can click on it to open much higher resolution image from my Photo Gallery.
