I had a training class in Washington DC and was there for a week. Karen would
go out visiting the museums and other sites while I was in class so most of my
pictures are again at night. This picture is taken from the WWII memorial and
the Lincoln Memorial is in the background. I was over near the capitol
building to take night shots but the police made me take down my tripod.
Apparently you need to get a tripod permit. I was also told by another
guy taking pictures that they had harassed him over by the Lincoln Memorial. |

This one is taken from the far end of the reflecting pond using a long zoom
lens. Washington is a great place to visit with plenty of very good museums
and many historic sites to see. |

I had one afternoon off and we went to the tomb of the unknowns. The
Tomb is guarded 24-hours-per-day and 365-days-per year by specially
trained members of the 3rd United States Infantry (The Old Guard).
Watching the changing of the guards is a very moving experience. The
bottom picture is taken in Denton Maryland. We went there to visit a
friend and her family I worked with almost 20 years ago. We had a fun
evening visiting with them. After living in California it was refreshing
to visit small town America. They had a great place with 5 acres of land,
woods, a stream and a tree house her husband helped the boys build. All the
elements of a great place to grow up as a kid. |
