Some shots in the dark

While I was driving home tonight, I noticed that the full moon tonight looked very cool. So after throwing in a load of laundry (clean clothes having a higher priority than cool pictures), I headed out to the Iwo Jima Memorial area and took some pictures.

It was an interesting challenge to take a picture of the moon that showed the intricacies of the moon's surface, as well as the slightly reddish color that it had tonight.



I wanted to show the contrast between the moon and the clouds passing in front of it. I did not get the exposure quite right, but it is a cool picture anyway.



Here you can see the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the DC Capitol all lined up together.
