I got up super early to shoot some photos of the Memorial Bridge for an On Site project, but the weather and light didn’t cooperate like I had hoped. Did get this shot of the sunrise with some seriously funky clouds …
… and this close up of one of the Arts of War statues. I think this one is Valor (but don’t quote me on that.)
OK, Layfayette isn’t actually in this picture since he’s on top of the pedestal. You’re looking at Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, and Louis Lebègue Duportail. Both were military leaders in the American Revolution.
This adorable statue in front of the Defenders of Wildlife building on 17th St. isn’t fooling me. I’ve seen movies — these things follow poor lost humans around the countryside until they’re is exhausted and then the wolves attack!
