The rotunda at Bancroft Hall at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Go Navy! Beat Army!

Bridge over troubled waters…

Tom — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:16:26 +0000

Not really, but I did think of the song when passing under the bridge.

Fire, fire, fire…

Tom — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:31:05 +0000

Fire, fire, fire… class alpha fire reported in the in the yard, away the flying squad away.

Rainbow connection

Tom — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:16:06 +0000

Rainbow in Springfield after last night’s thunderstorm. Reminds me of Hawaii, where you see rainbows every day. Also reminds me of a Hawaiian saying: “no rain, no rainbows”. Wise words indeed.

Sunset on the river…

Tom — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:28:58 +0000

Sunset on one of the estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay.

Boatlift

Tom — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:32:13 +0000

A boat on a lift… says it all.

buckets on poles…

Tom — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 11:06:47 +0000

Don’t know why I found this to be so interesting… I love the contrast of the white buckets and the dark background.

Sitting on the dock…

Tom — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:47:24 +0000

Looking up from a dock off of an estuary of the Chesapeake Bay. A beautiful day and bounteous catch led to a happy evening of food and fun.

Blue crabs!!!

Tom — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:45:56 +0000

Blue crabs from one of the estuaries of the Chesapeake.

A memorial to those who served…

Tom — Mon, 12 May 2008 01:01:45 +0000

A black and white of the World War I Memorial, built to commemorate those from the District of Columbia who lost their lives in service to the country during the “war to end all wars”.

Army-Navy 2007

Tom — Sun, 04 May 2008 11:53:05 +0000

The red, white, and blue displayed at half-time at last year’s Army-Navy game. The game was played in Baltimore - parking was a nightmare.

Foggy Bottom…

Tom — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:17:15 +0000

Metro arriving at Foggy Bottom on a routine expedition into the city. We didn’t end up in the Land of the Lost, though…

Reflections, Korean War memorial

Stars, Freedom Wall, WWII Memorial, Washington DC

Tom — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:20:11 +0000

Stars on the Freedom Wall at the World War II memorial in Washington DC. Took this picture on a fall expedition into the city. I haven’t been making as many trips into the city as I have in the past, probably time to pack the gear and walk, walk, walk.

Journalist memorial, Arlington VA

Tom — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:25:58 +0000

Close up of the journalist memorial in Rosslyn, located at Freedom Park. The colors reflected off the glass are amazing!

The daibutsu at Kotoku-in

Tom — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 23:22:21 +0000

A shot of the daibutsu at Kotoku-in temple in Kamakura Japan. Made another trip out to Japan, this time for business and had a chance to make a quick trip out to Kamakura to visit the family. I stayed in Daiba area of Tokyo which turned out to be very nice. I wasn’t aware of the fact that my family was very aware of the surroundings and apparently have stayed out here on many occasions.

More Zeni-arai Benten

Tom — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 10:27:05 +0000

More pictures of Torii gates at Zeni-arai Benten in Kamakura, Japan. The shrine is a short walk away from the JR Kamakura train station, and an even shorter walk from my parent’s house. You can see both Zeni-arai Benten and Sasuke Inari in the same short walk, since they’re very close to each other.

Building in Rosslyn

Tom — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:31:54 +0000

Looking up one of the skyscrapers in Rosslyn VA. I believe this is the building where WJLA News 7 is located…

Construction in Rosslyn

Tom — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:02:33 +0000

A view down a sidewalk in Rosslyn - contractors were working overhead and built the temporary walkway to prevent debris from falling onto the heads of pedestrians, I suppose.

Farragut West…

Tom — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:23:37 +0000

Looking down at the tracks at Farragut West Metro station on the way back from seeing the Frogs exhibit at the National Geographic museum.
