Washington, DC

I was in DC for an astronomy conference, but wanted to break out for an evening with my camera. I took a cab to the Library of Congress, and spent the rest of my time on foot.

None of these is really more important than the other, so I’ll show them as a simple grid here, without much explanation. I lucked out a bit because it was one of those warm, winter nights, and the air was heavy with moisture, which resulted in some great lighting effects.
