So far, it has been a snowless winter here in the DC metropolitan area. Fortunately, there are still plenty of good subjects, despite the uncooperative weather.
I took the following photo at Great Falls, Virginia, at sunset. I placed the horizon lower than I normally would to emphasize the vastness of the sky and the swooping clouds.
I stuck around the falls until nightfall. The following is the result of a five minute exposure.
The scene is lit only by the moon. To me, the complete loss of detail in the water, caused by the long exposure, and the moonlit shadows gives the scene an eerie alien look.
Note: clicking on either photo will take you to the photo on Flickr. Clicking on the photo a second time at the Flickr website will take you to a large version of the photo set against a black background. Enjoy!
