Fall Sunrise on Pennsylvania Avenue

 A few weeks ago, I got up early and headed downtown. Just as I arrived in Freedom Plaza the sun had just started to rise on the Capitol building. I took a few shots as the sun began to rise on Pennsylvania Avenue. As it was a weekday morning, such photos show people heading to work, some with a morning beverage in their hand. These photos shows the various buses that run along Pennsylvania Avenue. Moreover, one can see one of the many commuter buses that bring people to work into DC each from places usually far outside of DC and beyond the reach of the metro. One can of course see the tents of the Occupy DC movement located on Freedom Plaza. All photos were shot with my 55-200mm VR kit zoom.

 

A Red Light District

For those of you thinking that this post was going to be about a red light district in the District of Columbia, I guess that I tricked you with the title of the post. I was photographing the Occupy DC protest in Freedom Square last month when I took this shot looking down Pennsylvania Avenue of the sun setting on the Capitol Building. Being a Sunday evening, I suppose you would see more cars' red lights during an weekday evening rush hour.
