Photo of the Day: October 26, 2009

The DCist flickr pool is full of great outdoor shots from this past weekend. Between the Marine Corps Marathon, the bright fall leaves, and some spectacular sunsets it is obvious that our contributing photographers were out enjoying the great fall weather. This image from the Perry Belmont Mansion by lightboxdc caught my eye because of the great use of the light. The strip of orange sun, contrasting with the deep blue sky, in a composition that makes good use of lines and shapes makes this shot worth highlighting.
