A rework of an earlier favorite from Washington National Cathedral; I really like the strong lines formed by these two

Thank you all very much. As soon as the building reopens to the public (now delayed at least until 9/4/11) I plan to revisit the areas I've photographed and compare before-and-after, for any earthquake damages. From what I've heard from staff members so far, this particular area was not damaged, and most of the damage is contained to the upper exterior areas. See nationalcathedral dot org for damage photos, news and info. #9632105

Thank you, folks!
RJ, it wasn't meant to be this time around... (I had my fingers crossed, given the sentimentality I feel for all my images of the now-badly-damaged, post-earthquake, pre-Irene cathedral.) But I'm thrilled this one made it to Finalist, as it is a reworked version of an early favorite. #9635555

I'm still catching up on Finalists, Chris...another one of your National Cathedral masterpieces...terrific composition with the curves and lines, light and shadows, stunning in B&W.
Thank you for your comments on my Wolf Trap fireworks image - I was in the DC area with friends who took us to Wolf Trap - not really a photo trip. But next time I go back, I would love to look you up! #9641654
