MLK Memorial at Sunset on Inauguration Day 2013

This shot was taken on inauguration day last Monday in Washington DC at the Martin Luther King Memorial during sunset.  We were blessed with an amazing sunset, and because we rented bikes we were able to get around to the various monuments fairly quickly which was great.  This is the first time I'd seen the MLK Memorial and it's quite striking as the stone carving of Martin Luther King stands alone in a big square, so the stone is very imposing in comparison to the surroundings.  Very strong.  I loved how the sun came in and lit the stone for this shot, and I tried my best to capture it!

Wild Hogs

Look at Hell's Angels, here come the Wild Hogs from Washington DC.  Nothing is sexier than men in their 30's riding around in red unisex bicycles with camera gear flying in the breeze.  Well, the bikes were lifesavers for our legs and enabled us to get around the inauguration faster than anyone else there.  Thanks to my brother Ryan and Vanden for joining me on this adventure!!!

Lincoln's Vista by Jason Lanier

This shot was taken last night on inauguration evening as the sunset was ending.  The coloring on the entire picture including the Washington Monument is completely unaltered.  The Washington Monument is golden because that was the last part of the sun that was shining through.  This was taken from the top center steps of the Lincoln Memorial and is exactly what Lincoln looks at every evening.  It was the most amazing sunset I've ever seen in Washington DC....
