Cherry Blossoms

I couldn't convince anyone to get up early with me to go check out the sunrise on the Tidal Basin this morning. A weather app predicted only a 50% chance for a pretty sunrise - I am glad I gambled (and sorry they missed out on a beautiful morning). It is hard to see in this photo, but the golden light was bouncing around and illuminating the blossoms from both the sky and the water - it was breathtaking!


It rained about 30-45 minutes after I took this photo, which I think helped to keep the crowds down. I walked all the way around the Tidal Basin, and this is my favorite composition, by far. Both times I've been here, I've had the place practically to myself.

Cheers,

Marc
