Photo of the Day: December 1, 2008

We see a lot of beautiful pictures of the new Air Force Memorial in the DCist Flickr pool, but rarely do we get to see such a nice shot of the (somewhat similar) sculpture at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center. This is John Safer's Ascent, which sits in the Center's parking lot and was captured by Flickr user lorigoldberg with the luck of some crystal clear skies and a happy accident of slightly-off white balance. EXIF.
