Well I'm all moved --god that sucked. I was down in my hometown Georgetown and had a few hours to kill so I went down to the old Paper Mill. Said to be the first Hydro Electric plant in Canada. I have many shots to upload on this great historic site, which is nearly all rubble.
Bokeh for several days ago. Ended up stopping up as I wanted more of the background to be in focused yet still bokehed.

M Street

About as quiet as M Street gets- by mid-day it is crawling with people and traffic, and it would be next to impossible to take this shot.
Georgetown predates the rest of the city of Washington, which was planned and constructed after the Revolution. Until the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal began operation in 1831, this was as far up the Potomac River that ships could navigate and the town became active during the Colonial period as a port, particularly for tobacco.
In 1871, the town became incorporated into the city of Washington and in the 20th century became increasingly fashionable. Today it is home to a number of foreign embassies, countless politicians, genteel historic houses, and boutiques and restaurants (particularly along M Street).
Georgetown University also mixes into the neighborhood a college vibe, and it is not unusual to see a grungy sports bar next to a high-end art gallery.
