Fourth in the Capitol...

American Independence Day
Copyright 2009 Matt Mortensen

It was a great holiday in the capitol of the free world! I have to thank my friend Grissell for putting up with me an allowing to get such great shots. It was a wise move on our part to see some museums and galleries before the "big" fireworks show...some people waited on the National Mall for 9 hours to see a 15 minute fireworks display! I can't complain, it was awesome to be with several hundred thousand other people on Independence Day. The subject of the next post will be a photo essay on the many ethnicities that were present in D.C. that day. It was something I was grateful to be part of and to be honest, I was not expecting the diversity of peoples at all! I can't wait to get all those picture processed and shared with everyone.
