This weekend I paid a visit to the Jefferson Memorial and the Tidal Basin. A black and white image seemed appropriate for the grey day, so went with the dry twig and Chinese ink technique I learned about from Kiah Kiean.
The Memorial itself is modeled after the Pantheon, a building Jefferson himself admired (and imitated in his design for the Rotunda at the University of Virginia). The inside has inscriptions from his writings, including the Declaration of Independence.
The Tidal basin was still frozen over from colder weather earlier in the week, but it was actually relatively comfortable outside today. This has long been a favorite place of mine to walk around - and it's much less crowded in February than it is in April when the cherry trees are in bloom.
