FDR memorial

[JonMikal]

had an idea and slipped over to the FDR memorial tonight. thought the washington monument would be more visible from this angle...aparently not maybe when the leaves drop.

thanks for looking

Great idea!
Just go chop down the tree... I'm sure the gardeners there wouldn't mind...

You couldn't resist it could you Jon, my early thoughts were, at last some colour. I can't find any problems with the tree. I like both versions, but would suggest maybe a crop off the left. Ernie

Something on those lines Jon.
