The Thomas Jefferson Memorial, He is my favourite US president and I have had a fascination about him since I read about the famous quote by John F Kennedy when he claimed “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone” during a Nobel laureates dinner.

I reached the memorial by evening that day and was really tired from the heat wave and biking around the city. This angle was interesting because of the lines contrasting against the dome of the building and the perspective the ultra wide angle lens was giving me. I used a polarizer to darken the skies a bit and other than that this was a pretty straight forward shot and I am liking the result so far…
