This was out of a sequence of about 6 shots. I got close to centering the monument in the grass, but it's tricky when you're doing 130mph.

Ahem (If I may borrow from MST3K) "It's a long par 5 to the nation's capitol." In hushed tone of course.

Great shot of a city I used to really like a lot once upon a time. It's been decades since I flew out of National but I CAN"T BELIEVE after 9/11 they can still fly this close to such major important buildings and monuments. Oh well, the Brainiacs at Homeland Security are in charge, not for me to judge, what do I know.....A no hassle, quick departure for Politicians, Lobbyists, and such wins over anything else. BTW, I believe that the DC layout was modeled after Paris if I recall properly...just a minor FYI kinda thing. Very good work on the photography side Paul, Mark

No, I was flying the starboard side of a Super-80 behind the wing. Fortunately, it was a relatively clean window, but it's still pretty blurred.

Always enjoy an aerial shot even if it is a commercial flight. A great shot here Paul. Excellent clarity. You obviously found that "sweet" spot in the plane window to shoot this through or were you flying the plane? :) Super details in all the buildings. Lovely rich colours. Very nice shot indeed.
Thanks also for dropping by my Sunset Icicles shot. Always enjoy your visits.
Cheers - Ann :)

Actually, Don, this was shot in December, on climb-out from Reagan National airport, so commercial airliners still get this close, just not pre-approved civilian aviation.

I didn't think you could get this close in a plane any more. You about is great but it doesn't seem to be happening at this stage of the game. Nice perspective. Don.
