Photo of the Day: February 27, 2007

Holy aerial views! It can be tough to get a decent shot out the window of an airplane, but Flickr user davebushe took a brilliant one here. The frozen Potomac and the slightly smoggy blue sky create an interesting effect, really highlighting the white marble monuments. I don't think I'm alone in saying that flying out of National is one of the most awe-inspiring things about living here; there's nothing better than flying in from a long trip and seeing these amazing buildings in your town shining in the night. Okay, okay. Enough sappy D.C. love. EXIF.





Beautiful! Thanks davebushe
Beautiful photo davebushe - it doesn't look like there's much pollution over our fair city either!
When I moved to DC, many people told me that flying out of National was something to make sure to do for the great views. They were not wrong!
Thanks!
Another great photo, Dave.
When the disposable income fund grows a bit, I'm going to schedule a flight to fly in during the 4th of July fireworks.
I did the fireworks flight in. It was spectacular, but's not a sure thing- the smoke can get in the way.
