Rick, I am a West Virginian who lives and works in Washington, DC. I am glad you came to town and took some photos. I hope you enjoyed your visit here. I read your blog often and enjoy the photos from around the state. Thanks!
Hi Roman... good to hear from you again. I didn't know you were in DC now. It sure was hot down on the Mall on Saturday. Whew. Nice and cool in the National Gallery though. It was rather amazing to see all of those portraits of the found fathers painted by Stuart. Talk about icons! If you haven't been to see... check it out.
Thanks Tom and everybody. I have photographed these columns in front of the National Gallery before. The purity of form and light always makes me stop after climbing those stairs. I had shot several compositions already and I kept having to wait for groups of tourists to move through the frame when all of a sudden this beautiful asian lady with the parasol (no less) walks through my shot. I almost peed my pants. I got one shot before she was gone. I love those moments.

Ditto what they said!
Rick, the light effects are totally Edward Hopper.
