Washington, D.C. At Sunrise

When I flew into DC and checked the weather (rainy, thunderstorms, rainy, then perhaps some sun) I was a little disheartened at the photo possibilities. Despite the weather, I figured that I would head into downtown for sunrise on the first morning that I was there. Worst that could happen would be to get there and it be raining, but how often do I get to take that opportunity? Well, the conditions turned out perfect: the storm broke enough to have amazing light for about 20 minutes before and after sunrise before the sun ducked behind the clouds for the rest of the day. I chose the Vietnam Veterans Memorial as my location and was also able to grab shots of the Lincoln Memorial, the Capital and the Washington Monument, and the World War 2 Memorial.
