Washington, DC

As the harsh summer sun roasts us, let's remember a chillier time: the DC Snowpocalypse of 2010!

Yesterday, I took my Nikkor 70-300mm lens (105-450mm on my Nikon D7000) to Washington, DC’s, National Zoo. Before I left, the temperature rose to scorching, and walking on the mostly shade-less paths became an act of sheer will. Nevertheless, I like the results with which I came home.

I'm now a poster at Photoblogging DC, which showcases the work of local photographers. For my first contribution, I used a photo of the World War II Memorial I snapped in May on one of E. David Luria's Monuments at Night photo safaris.
