Thanks everyone!

dwaynehoov - I was planning on doing a DC sunrise...but I would have gotten about 3 hours of sleep....and I like sleep too much. And I'm lazy.

DCist - Thanks! My first DCist photo of the day.

hostcynamon - You better go check it out soon! The Awakening is rumored to be moved to Maryland in front of a shopping mall.

Is this reality or a good Photoshop job? I grew up in Alexandria and visited Hains Point many times over the years but never saw this arm. Regardless of your answer, I love the image and the way it's put together.

Brandon-J says:

VA Gentleman - It's a real photo and a real sunset but I did do some HDR post processing with Photomatix and Photoshop. I'm glad you liked it.
