Jefferson Memorial renovation at dawn

            I'm a strange bird. When I take photographs, I am tickled when a perennial scene that just about everyone takes has a time element in it. For example, I love taking photos of Civil War reenactments where there is an anachronism — e.g. a costumed reenactor uses his cell phone or her digital camera. Years from now, one will look at that cell phone and say, oh, that reenactment was roughly in 2010. One will be able to tell from this photo of the Jefferson Memorial that this image with its roof renovation was roughly from 2020 and not 1995 nor 1950. The city buildings in the background will also help stamp this photo in time.

I know. Others will say, "scafolding on a national monument, meh." "City buildings in a pristine park landscape, meh."

I love it.

It is early morning at the tidal basin.
