Here are a few pics from DC I took a few weeks ago...

Id post more, but Imageshack is being a pain right now.

Nice shots. It appears you didn't miss out on the record snowfall. Hope it didn't hinder your movements within the city as I heard most of the city shut down.

Very nice, love the light on the Monument. Late afternoon or early morning?

We missed the snowstorm by 3 days and moving around the city wasnt difficult because of the Metro, however walking on the sidewalks were a bit of a chore since most of the snow on the sidewalks were not shoveled or plowed. Most of the sidewalks on the national mall were not shoveled. People made a path in the snow that eventually turned to ice. Walking up to the monument was a pain since there was about 2 feet of snow on the ground.

Thanks. It was late afternoon at sunset. I would have done some more shots but I was in DC for only a day and a half. I had planned out some other shots with the Washinton Monument reflectining in the Reflecting pool, but the water was completely frozen.

Thanks for the update. I live with frozen water for about 8 months out of the year, so I know what you mean.

Hi there,

I'm happy with PBase.
