Friday At The Key Bridge

[Jimbaux walks alone across the Key Bridge.]

My dear Jimbauxlings, today I bring you a set of pictures I took Friday and of which I am quite proud.  Enjoy, mes amis!

Storm Light?

The weather here Friday was darn weird, and this weirdness provided for some great photo opportunities, so great that I’ve updated my print website for the first time in nearly a year, but we’ll get to that soon enough.

It Does Get Better Than This

Here’s the first view of something of which you’ll see very different views before this post ends.  It’s all about atmosphere!

Again, below, you’ll see some much more dramatic shots of this same stuff.

Spirituality and Peace

Seen in the background in the below view is an architectural landmark of Washington.

The Catholicness (or Catholicicity) of the foreground contrasts with the Episcopalianness (or Episcopalianicity) of the background, and there are some powerful metaphors at work in this image.  The foreground is part of the Georgetown University.  The impressive and iconic structure in the background is the Washington National Cathedral, a places of great significance for many.

Yes, that’s the Potomac River at the bottom in the picture.

The Money Shot

Moving right along from spirituality to money, here’s a shot that you might want hanging on your wall.  Here are the Watergate Complex, the Kennedy Center, and the Washington Monument all bathed in sunlight with dark clouds behind them.

Yes, large-sized prints of this image without any copyright watermarks can be purchased.

Looking The Other Way For a Minute

Plenty of neighborhoods in Arlington County, Virginia, look like this.

Nobody’s going to get mad that the shot is black-and-white, right?  Right?

My, How The Wind Blew

We had unusually high winds through the area on Friday.  Check out the white caps in the Potomac River.

Yes, that’s the Watergate Complex in the background.  We’re now out on the Key Bridge, which connects Rosslyn, Virginia, to the Georgetown area of DC.

Fun Times!

I’m not kidding you when I tell you it was windy, and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced winds that strong other than during a hurricane.  My face got sandblasted, and I was nearly blown over into the lanes of automobile traffic.

This young couple leaned forward into the wind.

Here, we see Jasmin Banaei and Arash Diba.  Getting these pictures was very difficult because I couldn’t hold the camera still, and these are a few decent shots compared to many that were blurry because the wind, I kid you not, nearly blew the camera out of my hand.

And we now go from a view taken on the Key Bridge to a view taken of the Key Bridge.

Now, let’s see some more shots to the east, this one another black-and-white.

Pretty cool, eh?  Just for good measure, here’s a color shot.

Now we go back to black-and-white for this monumental image.

And that’s all for now.  I had the great pleasure on this day of seeing my old Iowa pal Tom and making a new friend from back home on the bayou.  I’d write more about this, but I’m tired and busy.

Until next time, mes amis.

Merci,

Jimbaux
