Jefferson Memorial, Washington DC

Inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, it seems.

Wonder if Obama is in the chopper? Cool. I would so love to see the Pantheon...one of my fav things to study in art history.

These have been really neat in b&w - a different take on these famous shots.

Another 'must see' while visiting Washington DC (something I've not done myself). Nicely composed, Issi.

Gorgeous!

Great comp, and a wonderful combination of the old and classically beautiful with modern technology.

@lyndemc Ah, you need to go to your Nation's Capital Denise! Well worth the visit. :-)

@tristansmum Yes, there was something about the motorised modern helicopter and the classic monument that lured me into hanging around to get the right capture! There is obviously a heliport close by though, as I had various opportunities to capture this scene!
