View of Washington, D.C. from the front of Robert E. Lee's Home in Virginia

In June, I spent an afternoon in Washington.  At Arlington Cemetery, I visited the grave of John F. Kennedy.  The little burst of white at the bottom of the hill is the eternal flame at the grave site.  This view of the city was taken from the top of the hill in front of Robert E. Lee's mansion.  Arlington Cemetery was created by the victorious North after the Civil war ended as a way to keep General Lee from returning to his home.  At the moment this shot was taken, a big storm was about to pass over Washington.  The shot was filmed in infrared which is why the eternal flame stands out.  Infrared measures light bouncing off a subject.
