PotD – 2/1/2010
Hoo boy. The past – what, 4 hours? – have been spent fighting Microsoft Word for Mac’s archaic means of equation entry. And before that, I was going over the math I’m trying to put into Word. So I’m exhausted, but I still have to tackle some R work tonight. But I needed something with an organic feel, hence the Lissie, a singer-songwriter from Rock Island, Illinois who actually lives up the road in Ojai, CA now, according to her Daytrotter bio. Which is excellent, and highly recommended, btw.
The picture is from one of my last days in DC. I’d taken the afternoon off to get one last look of the city before I headed back West. After the Newseum, and a few hours wandering around the mall, trying to soak the last of any available political energy from the area, I headed back up toward Dupont so as to take the bus up Connecticut. It was a beautiful day – early September, but not too hot, just a light breeze rustling the leaves. One of those days to be glad you’re in DC.
Of course, the bus never came, so after about 40 minutes of waiting, I decided to just walk. The sun was setting over Rock Creek Park as I crossed the Taft Bridge; a shock of color that threw everything into silhouettes. It was breathtaking – I had to stop and take the shot.
And as I put the camera away, the bus rolled by.
