Drawing to a close 2

As the current year winds down, here are some snapshots from my new camera from the fall that I like.  This portrait of a jumbo jet encompassed within the symmetry presented by the straight line drawn down the National Mall by the Grant statue, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial symbolizes, to me, the continuing greatness of America, denoting inventiveness, innovation, power, world leadership, transportation and tremendous commerce.

The Christmas tree in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, presented here against an American flag backdrop, reaching up towards the sky beyond the soaring roof of what formerly was the Postal Pavilion.  America's greatness never needed to be restored, it has always been present since July 4, 1776.

Mists rise from the hillocks below, signifying the agelessness and endlessness of the Shenandoah Valley.  This view is from Skyline Drive.

Sunrise in a Columbus park.  I enjoyed Thanksgiving in the midwest with my sister and her family.
