Washington DC - Lotta Pix!

[moose135]

I took a run up to Long Island for Thanksgiving week, and spent a night in Washington, DC on both ends of the trip. I hadn't been to DC in half a dozen years, so I was looking forward to spending a little time shooting.

This was the first time I've been to DC since the US Air Force Memorial was opened, and I made sure to stop by for a visit.

Wow!! Totally blown away Moose!! Excellent work buddy. Thanks for sharing

[moose135]

Thanks, guys! Gerard, the Air Force Memorial is off I-395, just west of the Pentagon.

Moose, great shots. When I visited DC for the Andrews show and tried to take out my camera at the Pentagon, I was quickly stopped by security saying that photos were not allowed there, I guess you had better luck.

[moose135]

You are permitted to take photos of the 9/11 Memorial, but the signs clearly say that is the only area of the Pentagon where photos are permitted.

Thanks. Hopefully doing my DC/AC (Boardwalk Thunder) trip this summer.

That's good to know if I make it back there some day, but that wasn't the case in the eyes of the security or agent on watch when I was there. Thanks.

I could never work there knowing planes still flew close by on a regular basis- it would drive me crazy
