Good Morning Vietnam!

Good Morning Vietnam!, a photo by Sam Antonio Photography on Flickr.

Or should I say good morning Washington, DC! Actually, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is only about 1,000 feet from where I photographed this so I wasn’t too far from a “Vietnam” theme.

The ugly looking obelisk with the scaffolding is the Washington Monument which has been under construction since the August 2011 earthquake. If you are planning a trip to the Nation’s capitol soon, be warned that construction will not be completed until sometime in 2014. That’s really a bummer because everywhere you take a photograph in Washington, DC it seems the Washington Monument is always in the background.

I got up early this particular morning because in the spring and summer the sunrise runs parallel to the Lincoln Memorial (rising near the Washington Monument) and bathes the statue of Mr. Lincoln in warm, soft light. As you can see from my photograph that didn’t happen, so I had to settle for this lonely jogger running along the Reflecting Pool.

Happy Travels!

Inside the Belly of the Beast

Inside the Belly of the Beast, a photo by Sam Antonio Photography on Flickr.

A little iPhone magic, captured one evening as I was taking the Metro home after some twilight photography in Rosslyn, Virginia at the U.S.Marine Corps War Memorial. Taken at the Washington, D.C. Metro subway rail station (Rosslyn, Virginia stop).

This photograph will be published in the "Gather No Moss" section of the September 20, 2012 print edition of the San Diego Reader magazine.

Happy Travels!
