Very nice shots. I like the crop of the dome pic. Also, coincidentally, I've seen the other part of that mast at Arlington! Never knew the story though...
ReplyDeleteOh, and the surf board is actually called a Stand-Up Paddle Board......

DeleteI've visited quit a few places around DC, but have not yet made it to Annapolis. I had read about the Alex Haley statue and realized in the movie Roots they leave from Annapolis to Africa to get slaves. I like history and it looks like a little research and a visit to Annapolis is just the ticket.
