These are loose photos from Washington, DC in 2015. They're a mix of cellphone pictures and DSLR pictures, mostly taken while I was just out on normal day-to-day business. Enjoy.

Venus shines over Dupont Circle:
Actual auroral borealis visible over Cheapeake Bay. One day in March during a solar storm we heard aurora could be visible this far south. It was a clear night, so we got a zipcar at 1:00 am and drove out to the clearest northerly view we could think of: the
northern tip of Kent Island. This is what we saw:
The view from Anacostia:
This is an unphotoshopped & unfiltered cellphone picture. June was the rainiest month in DC I can remember. It was a constant never-ending drizzle, punctuated by one of the strongest thunderstorms in recent memory. 15 minutes after the rain stopped on that peak June thunderstorm, this is what the sky looked like.
I used to live in Dupont Circle. This was my neighborhood park.
In late 2014 I bought a rowhouse in Northeast DC. These are in my neighborhood, but aren't mine. Grey paint is a dead giveaway that a house has been flipped. Mine isn't flipped.
If you go to a transitioning neighborhood on a Saturday during a warm month, you *will* see a flipper crew painting.
