Washington DC. Day 1

Now for some standard siteseeing:



Good first stop Friday morning. First real travel photo with iPhone 3GS, cropped with Cropforfree iPhone app but otherwise unretouched. Have acquired some apps for photo enhancement but have not gone there just yet.

Here's the obligatory view from below Abe's feet looking back to the Washington monument and the Capitol beyond, faintly in left. Unretouched iPhone snap.




Then we walked to the Vietnam Memorial nearby, here is a memorial sculpture near The Wall:



Now for the Wall. We were totally unprepared for the scale and the power of this monument. Highest point inthe center marks the beginning and end of the casualty list in time order, proceding down to the right (east) tapering down to a point, then resuming at a point way to the left meeting Bach center. Here is a shot looking east from the center, Washington monument in the distance:



I edited the above iphone photo with an iphone app Photogene to adjust exposure and contrast, original is very dark. Now tapering down to the east...



And coming to a point down at your feet:



Here is another nice Vietnam memorial sculpure nearby, a female medic tending to a wounded soldier:



I will continue with day one on next post, want to see how this looks on a real webpage with the photos.
