Pictures in DC

I have been told that April 1st is a good time for cherry blossoms.  YOu might get some great spring shots while those of us in the northern states are still freezing.

rexbot, did you bring that light, or was that natural?

All my shots were using the existing lighting that is part of the monuments. The MLK shot is most striking - I got a lucky balance of the spotlights from the ground and some pre-dawn light in the sky. The Lincoln memorial is well lit on the inside (at least for a slow exposure - 1sec @ f8 ISO200). I brightened up the lettering a bit in both cases in post (LR4).
