DCBlogs Photography Contest

DC Blogs is having a photography contest with a theme: "What Inspires You?" Each person can have two entries, so here are mine. They have a common theme--both DC structures in detail, colored and lit and three-dimensional, against the September sky.



I moved to this city because I loved it, and I still do. I think it's beautiful, and I love that it isn't towering and enclosed like New York. I love that you can see the sky from anywhere, that the city incorporates nature, that there are so many majestic structures here. I love the museums and I love the colourful buildings in neighbourhoods like Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan. I love the big, fancy, national buildings and I love the little clumps of older buildings.

If we ever move away from DC, I'll miss the architecture for sure. There's something about those buildings and the way they occupy their space that really gets to me, in a good way.
