I'm back off the sidewalk in the grass with my camera on the tripod waiting for a people free view. This gentleman stopped right in front of me clueless.
Lucky for me... I really like the perceptive of him and the monument. He's getting a picture of the Jefferson Memorial....
All you needed was a long pole and . . . oops! . . . into the basin with him. Ha! :) This picture truly captures the experience of taking photos of the cherry blossoms. Well done!
