Perfect Sky



I've been waiting forever to take pictures of the Air Force Memorial, but it requires waiting for the perfect sky, because so much of it is in the sky. Today I lucked out. I went to take a picture of an abandoned pool. Those pictures were horrible, but on my way home the sky opened up and I remembered the Memorial. I had so much fun taking these.

I have to say the memorial is cooler than I thought it would be. I've always thought the memorial looks like knife edges coming out of the ground. I find them eery at night and I drive by it on 395 all the time. It's less eery when you are in the actual park. The space is very open and it you get a great view of DC. Actually before it was the Memorial, I used to sit on that hill to watch the July 4th fireworks.

I'm just happy I could make a picture of a landscape finally work.

That is truly amazing. You have to share this with everyone. I mean, do not limit this to your blog....Print it to poster size, post it somewhere public. It MUST be shared....
