Thank you so much Teresa. I found DC a fascinating city to visit and of course the night tour of many of the monuments was one of the highlights. Well worth the trip accross the country. Hope you get the chance to see it soon. #7986851Rita K. Connell August 14, 2010
this really makes me want to go to washington haven't been since I went digtal. this is spot on, I can't believe this didn't go right to the top. Its amzing what things bring out inside of us that "I am proud to be American feeling" this one is in my favorites for sure. #8830426Michael Kelly August 14, 2010
Thank you Rita. This one has gone to several schools, no charge of course. To me that is more important than the contest, as is you very nice comments. #8832618Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
