Seeing in the Dark

On Saturday after the Open House, I stopped off at the Marine Corps memorial (depicting the flag-raising at Iwo Jima) to take some long-exposure photos. (“Long” in this case is ~5 seconds) I pass by it every day going to and from work, but had never actually stopped. Lots of tourists there, even at 10 PM on a Saturday.

From that area there’s a view of the Capitol almost lined up with the Lincoln memorial and Washington monument.
