I took this picture on a gray, rainy day, with a little bit of sun poking through a cloud. It came out looking way under-exposed and funky, so I started to play with it in I-Photo. Here's the result. It's the Masonic Temple in Alexandria, Virginia.
Wow, that is a pretty site! Love it! I have been to DC a few times, but I dont remember this temple, it is quite beautiful from this view though!
Patricia, this is an impressive building shown in some interesting light. It seems to have a certain glow.
Pat..it looks terrific..quite majestic..I like it..Thanks

Great work with IPhoto - the picture came out really cool! You have some super impressive buildings in your area - always love the pics!
Kayla, it sits on top of a little hill in Alexandria, VA, just south of DC. It dominates the skyline in that part of town.
Silvia, the glow comes from the photo editing program I used to mess with it.
And Hanna and Leesa, Thank you!
Pat
The light constrast is amazing in this photo.
Hello Patricia,

Pat, had to do a double take, almost looked like a painting. And on the Iphone, amazing!
Hey, Pat --- isn't it fun to play around with these different things? I love the photo, BTW

Awesome picture Patricia. I will have to look into this Iphoto thing. Had not heard of it.
Pat, you are making me home sick. Great photo.
What's IPhoto? Is it something on the IPhones?
Sincerely,
Kathleen
That is very interesting.. an unexpected outcome.. I like it!
Pat,
This is a good wordless photo. I like it.
the photo looks vey interesting, what did you change with your i-phone app?
Hi Pat... I play with photo editing software sometimes. It's so interesting the effects that you can create which completely change the tone of the picture!
I think that iPhoto is really cool. Aren't you glad you have a MAC? Don't you wish that everyone did?
Helping you live your American dream...
Maybe I might have to get a I Phone after all. Cool pic Pat. Thanks for sharing.
It's in the new Dan Brown book! LOL I'm reading it now.
Neat Pic Pat. Maybe we can hire you to do pictures of our properties? :-)
Hey Pat,
Have you ever been inside? It's open to the public and they give a great tour. It's also the best view around from the top observation deck.
By the way, did you know I am a Freemason?
Pat, Don't know what iphoto is, but guessing its a Mac thing. Gee you have become quite the techie!
