Yesterday morning's warm sunrise light on President Lincoln's face at the Lincoln Memorial. Nice to capture his face in warm sunlight when the sunrise aligns with the memorial around the spring and fall equinoxes.

Thrilled to capture this Indigo Bunting taking flight Saturday at McKee-Beshers. Love the wing extension. So graceful!

This framed view of London's Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge is great day or night. I captured it on vacation last year over the holidays.

Full Moon rising over the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion - Greece. This moonrise alignment was on my photography bucket list, and I was fortunate to capture it in August, 2023. Forecast is cloudy tonight in DC. #thephotohour #templeofposeidon #sounion #fullmoon
