Happy 4th of July!!
U.S. Capital Building
It’s been a minute since I was last in Washington D.C., which seems weird since I’ve been there so many times in the past. If you’ve never been, it is worth a visit. Here is a series of photos from my last photo walk around the Capital Building.
This is how it should look
I’m still sickened by the actions of a few thousand individuals in our nation’s capital this week. Not only did they harm individuals, but they harmed “the people’s house”. This is how it should look when people behave.
By the way, I took this photo in 2019.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
In honor of Veteran’s Day tomorrow (November 11, 2020) in the United States, I’m sharing this photo I captured at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There are actually a number of Unknowns from a number of different wars placed in the Tomb. This is located in Arlington National Cemetery and is guarded 24/7/365 by members of the U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Regiment (“The Old Guard”). It’s emotional to watch the changing of the guard at this site and I think every American should see it at least once in their life. I took this photo of this Guard “walking the mat” back in 2019.

GW In The Sky
I got out last night attempting to capture the sunset with my drone in downtown Washington PA. After the sun dropped below the horizon, I captured this great image of the George Washington statute on top of the Washington County Courthouse. Love that sky!!

Capital (Night-Rear)
Tonight’s photo is the opposite of my last post. That was a daytime photo taken from the front of the U.S. Capital Building. This is a night photo taken from the opposite side.

Capital (Day-Front)
I think this is considered the front of the U.S. Capital building. I guess it could be the back…I don’t know. Regardless, I took this photo about two years ago while MJ and I were visiting a friend. Tomorrow I’ll post a “Capital (Night-Rear)” photo of the same location. I think you’ll find it interesting to compare and contrast the photos…day vs night and front vs rear.

US Capital Building
It’s been over a year since I was in Washington D.C. last. Which for me is a long time since my last D.C. trip. Not counting the cities I have lived in, D.C. is the location I’ve visited most by a long shot (90% of my trips to D.C. were work related).
I captured this photo on my last trip in 2018. Like most situations, I’m usually the only person standing in the dark or near dark waiting for just the right moment… This is the result.

Washington Monument
Not much to say about this. It is, what it is! Washington D.C. on a windy night.
