Georgetown is a historic neighborhood, commercial, and entertainment district located in northwest Washington, D.C., situated along the Potomac River. Founded in 1751 in the state of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years. Georgetown remained a separate municipality until 1871, when the United States Congress created a new consolidated government for the whole District of Columbia. A separate act passed in 1895 specifically repealed Georgetown's remaining local ordinances and renamed Georgetown's streets to conform with those in the City of Washington.
The primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue & M Street, which contain high-end shops, bars, restaurants, and the Georgetown Park enclosed shopping mall, as well as the Washington Harbour waterfront restaurants at K Street, NW, between 30th and 31st Streets. Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University and numerous other landmarks, such as the Volta Bureau and the Old Stone House, the oldest unchanged building in Washington. The embassies of France, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, and Ukraine are located in Georgetown.

Georgetown, Guyana, Easter 2009. Kite flying at Easter is a unique Guyanese tradition. Fly a kite at any other time and you'll be thought of as rather odd. The origins of the practice are somewhat hazy but the general explanation is that the kite is symbolic of the risen Lord.

I reshot this photo using my D200. (the previous version was done with a point-and-shoot) I'm sure years from now I'll reshoot it again with a D3x (assuming I ever get the funds together).
It's just that I happen to love the composition and I know I will keep shooting this scene over and over until "I get it right"!
