a chamber orchestra had a concert at sunset in a park scented with magnolia and little pockets of light peeking through trees
a crowd of people sat on a lawn, separated from the violins and violists and celloists by a rippling pond painted with distorted greens and blacks
the musicians were playing songs i'd played with my high school orchestra
it was one of those assignments where you wish people you love could be there to soak in all the goodness with you.
for all of two frames i noticed this girl, kneeling in one of those pockets of light, peering into the pond just before the music began
then she ran back to her seat
I was truly surprised that this past weekend's Easter trip to DC produced such great weather.

Of course, I am always looking out for great private rooftops or unique public locations and if anyone knows of any please contact me via flickrmail or rbudhuphotos [at] gmail.com.

Dawn sky behind theWashington Memorial and Capitol from Lincoln Memorial. The wind from the night's storm kept the water in the reflecting pool choppy.
Black-bellied Whistling Duck by the Capitol Reflecting Pool. Usually found much further south, but may have been blown north by storm Arthur.

Located almost due east of the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial, the monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, is both the world's tallest predominantly stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11ā32 inches (169.046 m) tall according to the National Geodetic Survey (measured 2013ā14) or 555 feet 5 1ā8 inches (169.294 m) tall according to the National Park Service (measured 1884).
An oldie that I've temporarily bumped up to the top of my photostream: "Rainbow Lake", a reflecting pool inside Shenandoah Caverns.
A reflection of a tree in a shallow pool on the Columbus Convention and Trade Center campus in Columbus, Ga. This pool is part of a fantastically long water feature on the grounds.

The Washington Monument and reflecting pool in the early hours of a Sunday morning. As you can see, there are tourists here even at this early hour. Actually, quite smart of them, as they get to miss the huge crowds that gather here in the early afternoon.
Press L if you will...it is much nicer!

Market Square Park features water fountains in the form of water tables that are like mini-reflecting pools. The stone surfaces feature colored imagery in pleasant hues and evoke associations with French impressionism in themes and style.
Being without a tripod, I leaned myself against one of the pillars of the Lincoln Memorial to get this shot, so the detail is not of the highest quality. But I like the figure in the reflection silhouetted against the monument.
Viewed large, at the bottom of the image you can even see the tiny lights of peoples' cell phones.
Damage to the monument from a 2011 earthquake cost $15M USD to repair, but it was reopened for a time. Then elevator problems closed it again for the past two years. The new reopening is scheduled for the spring of 2019.

It is the tallest monumental column in the world if all are measured above their pedestrian entrances. It was the tallest structure in the world from 1884 to 1889. (Source: Wikipedia)
My daughter included this monument in our trip with her young family to visit some historic sites in Washington, D.C., and in some former British colonies.
Panshangar was one of three large houses built for memebers of the Archer family in central Tasmania. Panshangar in classical Greek style was built for Joseph Archer in 1831. Probably one of thebest classical houses in Australia. It has a wonderful historic garden to explore as well. They have a bed and breakfast cottage attached to the main house.
This mallard duck is just about to step out of the reflecting pool at the base of the U.S. Capitol. I thought he could use a makeover and: here he is!
