It’s hard to resist the lure of sunny days with cloud-filled skies, something I’m sure anyone with summer hours on Fridays can attest to. These conditions also tend to look picturesque when reflected off the side of a building. Thus today’s photo, taken by Flickr user krwaltondc of Techworld Plaza, on 8th and K in NW. This shot was taken on a Sony DSC-W1. The EXIF data can be found here….

Although I’ve never been, I hear Gravelly Point is a great place to visit if you want to watch the planes at National take off and land. Flickr user zachstern gives us the visual evidence. This shot was taken on a Sony DSC-H1. The EXIF data can be found here. This post was written by DCist Kyle Gustafson….

Today we bring you a little vertigo from Flickr user AlbinoFlea. I had a tough time choosing between this one and maxedaperture’s puddle of melted ore, but AlbinoFlea’s photo of a Georgetown Library staircase stood out with its brilliant color and repeated patterns. It was taken with a Sony DSC-H2 and you can find the other EXIF data here….

Today’s photo comes from Flickr user The Michael (there’s just the one). These spongy ‘shrooms look almost a tad ethereal, popping out against the background with this great close-up. The Michael used a Sony DSC-P200; the other EXIF data is here….

Today’s photo of the day was taken by Flickr user Todd Franson. It was taken on a Sony DSC-P150. You can see the EXIF data here. There were also some good shots of the RFK stands and that old standby, the sunset. Let me be the first to congratulate Todd on a shot well taken while also reminding him (and everyone else) of our three photos per day rule with the DCist tag….

Today’s photo comes from Flickr user Sager!!! and was taken on a Sony DSC-P52. The EXIF data can be found here. You’ll just have to trust me that the reasoning behind picking this photo was entirely non-partisan and had more to do with the composition than anything else….
