Monumental Moment, 2012, Steve Mesa
On a not very well planned, yet fun road trip to D.C, I took this photo on December 22, 2012. While riding shotgun in my friends car, i managed to take this great centered shot of the Washington Monument with my iPhone. Even though it was a ridiculously cold day, the sunlight couldn’t have been any more brighter and perfect to show all the details and colors around the Monument. I love all the specific features like how the clouded sky goes from a blue color to a lighter one as you look down or how the brown patches of the grass that was once green look at the bottom, to the irrelevant cracked sidewalk thats centered with the monument. Even the minuscule details where you would have to zoom in on or squint your eyes to see, like the number of tourists or the decidious trees or the American flags that go around the main attraction all add on to this shot. It was nearly impossible to take a bad picture of this majestic scenery.
