This will be a series this week of one off images. It will show my progression in the afternoon when I was down on the National Mall in Washington DC. Technically this image is in Virginia by definition but it’s on Federal Land. If you live in the DMV; DC, Maryland and Virginia as we call it.

Was some weird clouds going on when I was shooting. Enjoy.
