Nicknamed "Waves and Gulls," the Navy-Marine Memorial on Columbia Island is probably among the least photographed monuments in D.C. Flickr user Leica Mark makes up for it with this technically and artistically fantastic shot of it with his, of course, Leica M7. In fact, he has a whole series of amazing monument shots that seriously put to shame what's out there displaying our city to the rest of the world.
Don't forget, we're hosting another DCist Photographer's Meet Up, along with the Washington DC/Metro Area Flickr group this Sunday at Solly's U Street Tavern at 2 p.m. See how well you can balance a beer in one hand and your camera in the other along with the rest of us.

I've got mad beer/camera balancing skills.
Isn't that a spot where guys go to get Larry Craig'ed at night or am I thinking of Iwo Jima?
This is a cool shot indeed, but I'm sick of people thinking that a photo is somehow better because it was taken with a Leica.
There's no causation here. I said "of course" because his name is "Leica Mark." Get it?
Sorry, I wasn't refering to your words Heather, rather the photographic community in general. People think that a photo taken with a Leica (or even the fancy M7!) is some sort of automatic masterpiece.
It's a well-framed shot. The con trails add a nice effect. Good work!
