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.
The Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, once commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first President of the United States. 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 predominately stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11⁄32 inches (169.046 m) tall according to the National Geodetic Survey (measured 2013–14) or 555 feet 5 1⁄8 inches (169.294 m) tall according to the National Park Service (measured 1884). 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!

The end of a long, beautiful night walking the entire length of he National Mall. The Washington Monument glistening in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Pro tip: If you're considering checking out the Mall entirely on foot in one night...don't. It is a deceptively massive place!
I had one awesome evening photographing the monuments of DC. The sky was doing some crazy things. The low clouds were whipping across the sky reflecting the lights nicely.
An attempt at some extreme HDR. I generally don't make my HDR work this intense but wanted to give it a shot. It looks much better at the larger size.
HDR from 3 exposures (0, +2, -2 @ f/7.1, 8.0).

If you come to Copenhagen it is a must to visit Tivoli, the famous amusement park and garden, located in the heart of Copenhagen. Here one can admire Tivoli's Moorish Palace, Nimb Hotel, a beautiful piece of architecture. Actually, Nimb is a five-star hotel, designed and built in a Moorish-inspired Historicist style by the architect Knud Arne Petersen.
Its name comes from Wilhelm and Louise Nimb, the owners of restaurant dynasty in Copenhagen, who took care of the restaurant Divan 2 here in Tivoli.
The building has amazing details and it is full of lights during the night.
"Attraction of the Thrasher" by Patti Deters. This young Curve-billed Thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre) perched on a thin line of pebbles as he stopped by for an early morning drink of water. He paused for a little bit before drinking as if admiring his reflection in the still water. Native to only to the southwestern United States and Mexico; this bird was photographed in a back country habitat in the Arizona desert. Generally they are solitary birds, which is perhaps why his reflection caused him to pause. These birds are insectivores and are well adapted to live in arid regions.

The 9/11 Tribute lights as seen from the South Reflecting Pool. It was such a humbling experience to see the lights from this perspective. While i was fortunate not to have lost anyone to this tragic event, it was very sad still to see people visiting and placing flowers on the names of those who have perished. Let us never forget.
It was just starting to rain. If you look closely, you can see the raindrops hitting the surface of the pool. To view it in its larger size on a black background, go to my photoblog.
Lanarch Castle.
William Lanarch was a merchant, shipper, pastoralist, farmer and politician for over 25 years including the holding of Cabinet posts and he was land speculator. He succeeded at all but did not find happiness or ultimate success. He married three times with his first two wives dying. When one of his six children, a daughter died early, he was devastated. He was born of Scottish parents in NSW in 1833 and made his first fortune as a banker on the Victorian goldfields. In 1867 he moved to Dunedin to be a banker of the Otago goldfields. He stayed on as a Dunedin merchant and commissioned the prominent Dunedin architect Robert Lawson to build a mansion on the Peninsula. The house was built between 1871 and 1887 but occupied around 1872. It eventually contained 43 rooms including a lavish ballroom added in 1887 for favourite daughter Kate. Lanarch employed 46 servants in the house and the interior had floor tiles from England, slate from Wales, marble from Italy, glass from France and Venice and NZ kauri ceilings, NZ rimu floors and ZN honeysuckle panelling. The interior feature many panels of painted and stained glass. After Kate Lanarch died in 1892 her father suffered financial difficulties and he eventually committed suicide in the NZ parliament building in 1898. As he died intestate it took some years of family arguing before his estate was settled and Lanarch Castle was only sold in 1906. After a series of owners it fell into disrepair until it was purchased by Barry and Margaret Barker in 1967. They set about restoring the only castle in NZ. Since then they have added function facilities and accommodation to make the castle pay its way. The Barkers are still the current owners. Some believe that Kate Lanarch’s ghost appears in the castle from time to time. Another nearby historical house and garden is the Glenfalloch estate which was also established in 1871. The garden is known for its rhododendrons, magnolias, fuchsias, garden flowers, native ferns and NZ trees. In Scottish Gaelic Glenfalloch means “hidden valley” which aptly describes the location on the Otago peninsula.
