Aug 18 A morning walk in Arlington

The beauty of jet lag is you get up nice and early and can get some more morning exercise. I went to bed at 8PM, woke up at 10pm, 11:30am, 1am and finally wide awake at 2:23am. After working for a few hours I decided to head to head out for a morning walk... Today’s Configuration: Leica M9 with a Summilux 35mm f/1.4.

The sign of morning... beer restocking.

On every corner in every city in the world...

What a good idea to add a touch of color to what is typically a very dark and dirty place...

Do not take a photo of this building! It took about 3 seconds for guards to come out and say 'I know you are a tourist but this is a government building and you cannot take photos'. Hmmm a nondescript government building on the edge of DC...with very attentive security. I wonder how they knew I was a tourist...I wonder if they are reading this now...I wonder if those black vans and helicopters are following everyone else in DC?

Legal Sea Foods... I haven't been there in years. Maybe we'll eat there tomorrow.

I passed a small accident... I hope everyone is OK.

Great sky this morning...

I wish Japan had these...I would read the paper more.

Now this I love... There is a Bike Share in DC that you can subscribe to and just ride the bike where ever you are going and leave it. When you want another one just grab it. I ended up bumping into one of the owners and he said they are doubling the number of stations they have.
