Snow in Dupont Circle…

First of all, I hope everyone had a lovely Decemberween, as images of Dr. Christmas and the Dethemberween Thnikkaman dance through everyone’s heads.

I took some photos with my phone on the way into work on Tuesday, the first day back at work after the big snowstorm caused a snow day on Monday. These photos are of the snow encountered on my usual walk from the Dupont Circle Metro to the office.

As you can see, Dupont Circle is quite picturesque in the snow. Of all the places to be in DC, I’m glad that I spend most of my time in Dupont Circle. It’s a very pretty neighborhood.

Web site: More Dupont Circle snow pictures. What I would give to grab my tripod and spend an evening photographing the snow...

Song: Fairfax Rap. I've been listening to this periodically throughout the day, though I'm not that big of a Fairfax fan.

Quote: Meanwhile, I also want to just do a nighttime photo set in Dupont Circle. That would be a lot of fun, but the problem is that to do nighttime photos at a reaasonable hour requires doing it during the winter, and that's just too bloody cold...
