Photo Feature Archives
The Photo Feature was launched on the main page on March 12, 2005 as part of a main page redesign, replacing the quote article. Images run on the main page with a description as well as the date that they were photographed. They are run at 350×467 resolution at that location if vertical, and at 600×450 if horizontal.
On this page, images are presented thumbnail-size. Click the thumbnail image to see the full-size image, which is presented at full resolution, and is available for download.

The entrance to Pentagon City Mall in Arlington, Virginia at night.Featured: September 5, 2006Photographed: August 30, 2006 Notes: After previously being chewed out by a mall security guard for photographing the same location in daylight on my April 8 trip, I carefully made sure that there were no security personnel anywhere to be found this time before snapping a few shots. I believe I was likely in the public right of way (making the security guard 100% in the wrong if that was the case) on April 8, but nonetheless, I decided not to pursue the matter any further with them, because mall security guards aren't worth arguing with. |

I said, "I didn't think those lights were legal!" and the police officer said, "They're not. That's why we're here." So there you go. |
