This was a night of a fabulous sunset, with thunderstorms rolling through, puffy clouds all around and sun hitting them just right, coloring in beautiful red, orange and yellow. I wish ever night was like this. Of course if that was the case then we would think that it just normal and would want to see even more color in the sky. So having it only a few times per months is a good thing, something to be really excited if you get a chance to witness it.
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.
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.
First I want to thank you all who have stopped by my blog in 2012! I hope you enjoyed my photography and I hope you will be back in 2013! I wish you all good luck, happiness, good health and prosperity in the new year!
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.

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.
This is a good spot to watch air planes landing into National Airport.
