Washington DC third day
by Niklas Lindskog
Hi!
This is from my third and final shooting day in Washington DC, Thursday March 7th..
Travel log bullet points:
* Went back to my favourite lens, the Zeiss 25 mm.
* Walked to the Dupont Circle area and did some street there for quite a while. Found some boards painted green, with holes in them which made for a nice background. Passed that spot several times and got a shot each time.
* Had an "artistic" pizza for lunch.
* Took the subway to Arlington cemetery and saw John F. Kennedys grave and also the grave of the unknown soldier. And of course many other graves....
* Walked the town center a while, rounded the FBI headquarters for example.
* Got back to the hostel for an early evening.
To sum up this first half of this US trip, I really liked Philadelphia for street photography and as a city to visit in general. It feels like a city very much alive. Even in the cold weather, there was much happening in the streets. A little bit like a smaller version of New York. Washington DC, however I found difficukt for street. Not much life goes on in the streets, especially in the center with all the big concrete buildings.
Hugs,
Niklas
