Classic shot at Monument Valley taken in Sept 2020. Slight haze related to the California wildfires going on at the time.
While in Washington D.C. last week my primary interest was shooting street shots but I could not resist a few typical tourist shots too.
The Monument to the Restorers (Portuguese: Monumento aos Restauradores) is a monument located in Restauradores Square in Lisbon, Portugal.

I'm revisiting the photos I took in southern Utah, northern Arizona, and northern New Mexico in 2009, reprocessing some, adding a few, and deleting others.
This is taken from the Lincoln Memorial. I was there at 9:00 PM at night and there were still thousands of people around. Getting a clear shot with all of the reflection was impossible. The fence was temporary for the July 4th celebration. It was lovely to see so many of the monuments and memorials in DC.

July 4th, 2006 - wandering the Southwest, looking for photo opportunities, with Jeff Hay.
Monument Valley from my first (and so far only) roll of Velvia with the X-Pan. The saturation is over the top, but this is really close to what the slide looks like on a light box.

We took our first trip to the nation's capital a few weeks ago and this is one of my favorites from the trip.
Berlin, Bernauer Straße
Architects: Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff (1998)
In April 1994, the German federal government, represented by the German Historical Museum, held a competition for the design of a national monument for the victims of the Berlin Wall and the German division that was to be erected at the historical site on Bernauer Strasse.
In July 1995 the federal government, which hosted the competition, decided that the design proposal by Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff should be realized. This design called for the integration of the remaining evidence of the original border fortifications at Bernauer Strasse, and sought to reinforce and embellish them through artistic means.
The monument, two steel walls enclosing a preserved 70-meter long section of the original border fortifications was inaugurated in August, 1998.
