Big White Bridge

I read the other day that of the seven wonders of the ancient world only one, the Temple of Artemis, was primarily extolled for beauty more than sheer scale. The Wilson Bridge impressed me more with scale than beauty, though in a certain light not seen here it could possibly be thought to possess a kind of beauty (not sure why I feel so grudging about it.) Partly under the bridge, Jones Point Park has been given a major facelift since the bridge opened, and is now a curious blend of recreational haven and secured site where bridge photography is likely to attract unwanted attention from guards, at least until breakfast diverts attention.

Sub-par pedestrian views...

Pedestrian Views

Elizabeth and I were practically shoulder to shoulder as we made our way along the river. I wanted to like these but in the end I'm left with a question - is my curiosity stimulated enough to try again? (to make time and make it happen) Am I willing to go beyond the beginning? There's something about photographing the now that is changing before your eyes - knowing one day such images will preserve a look long gone.

Magic Carpet Ride

As the light warmed, I think we both enjoyed arriving in a tree, rather than crane, dominated scape, and seeing how the 60's era waterfront development had aged and become a lived in space

it was interesting reading about sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney; I needed the obligatory p.o.v too.

Waterfront Photo Shoot

Barbara had only me for company on our photo shoot around the DC waterfront.  We spent a good bit of time with the construction site but we stayed on through the golden hour.  This was an 'out of the box' subject for me but we had a good time finding views to photograph.  As an added benefit, I saw a part of town that I had never visited before. 

Is this an archaeological site?  While these look like columns from some classical Greek or Roman structure, they are probably just footers from an earlier building.

Shot through a scrim featuring a fire boat

This was a surprise find:  a memorial to the men lost when the Titanic sank.  The sculptor is Gurtrude Vanderbuilt Whitney.  This is the obvious frontal shot

But these last 2 seem too 'cutie' to me. 

I cannot really understand what I am looking at without the first picture.
