This is a spectacular sunrise as seen from inside the Lincoln Memorial. It is the same viewpoint that the statue of President Lincoln has for eternity.
Brave ice walkers stop for their selfie on the frozen Reflecting Pool of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
This shot was taken at the Lincoln Memorial but not from “in front” of Lincoln. This shot is from the side of the monument. You can walk all the way around the monument and there are nice views of Virginia from the side. There is a very nice view of the Memorial Bridge and Arlington Cemetery beyond, that I will post later if I have a decent shot of it. Walking around the corner, I saw this shot of someone capturing the beautiful vista of the monuments. For some reason, the Lincoln Memorial was not lit up tonight, or at least it wasn’t when I was there taking this shot. Shot with a 70-200 telephoto lens, 2.8 hand held, on a Canon 5D body.

The reflecting pool at the foot of Capitol Hill is always popular with seagulls--and tourists. For the first time, my work in Picasa to texture and edit a photo resulted in the destruction of the photo. I liked the lost version of this photo better (isn't that always the case) but could not recreate it completely. I'm in recovery mode from Thanksgiving--lots of clean-up still to do.

There is a rectangular pool in front of the church. When I see the church from the low angle, looks like it's floating on the water.

Before opening to the public, 9/11 Memorial Museum staff place a white rose at the name of each victim who has a birthday that day.
The names of every person who died in the 2001 and 1993 attacks are inscribed into bronze panels edging the Memorial pools, a powerful reminder of the largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in American history.
This is a redo of a picture I had posted earlier. I got a bit carried away before and oversaturated the colors. I posted it in haste and it had been bothering me ever since, so I went back to the original and reprocessed, this time in HDR Pro with 3 exposures. I also removed an ugly chain link fence that ran through the middle of the picture, as they had it cordoned off for maintenance.
The reflecting pool at the Christian Science Plaza in Boston.
The pool is drained before winter sets in and freezes it solid - this was taken back in September.
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.

Leo Friedlander is best known for his colossal public monuments, including the equestrian statues Valor and Sacrifice at Washington’s Memorial Bridge, and the thirty-three-foot figures representing the “four freedoms” (speech, press, religion, and assembly) created for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
Together with my Canadian friend David, we went on an early morning shoot on the Washington Mall. As we both shared the crisp air at sunrise and walked among the life-like statues of soldiers slogging through the battlefield, he remarked to me that Americans seemed to show their patriotism in symbols and memorials far more frequently than most Canadians.
I don't know if that's true, but I certainly don't feel the need to keep this image waiting for Memorial Day or Armed Forces Day when I can proudly display it on Any Day. Like today.
Dedicated to my dad, who proudly wore the uniform and to all my flickr friends who have served or who have been spouses or kids of those who have served. You need to be remembered all year 'round.
I think I'll keep this one up through 9/11 as a tribute to the fallen on that tragic day.
I sat and watched this lady doing Tai Chi for what seemed like about half an hour (I'm sure she'd been going for ages before I got there). When I saw her isolated in her red clothes I thought it'd probably make a decent photo.
Then, after firing off a dozen or so frames, I noticed her reflection in the pool. So I switched to portrait orientation and waited for some "impressive" move. She did do some high kick thing (I haven't got a clue about Tai Chi in case you hadn't noticed) but by that time my wrist was getting sore holding a 1.4kg lens up to my eye, and I missed it.
This was about the best I could do at the time. Maybe I'll go back every few weeks to see if she has come back. Makes for a fairly relaxing afternoon if nothing else.
Clearly, love is in the air in the US - during my recent visit I ran into wedding and engagement photo shoots all the time. This couple chose the Lincoln Memorial as their perfect spot (with the Washington Memorial and Capitol Hill in the background).
The interior courtyard of the Getty Villa. Built in the Roman style, this courtyard is at the center of the villa and most of the rooms open onto it.
The Sabatini Gardens are a small oasis of peace in the centre of Madrid. They are north of the Royal Palace, and were named after Francesco Sabatini (1722-1797), one of the Italian architects who designed the palace in the 18th century. The focus of the gardens is this reflecting pool among trees offering a majestic view of the palace.
