Yesterday I walked around the Tidal Basin, enjoying the National Cherry Blossoms, and made a quick visit to the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of Natural History.
The lighting for number two is horrible as it was mid-day. I'm planning an early morning trip for more monuments.
From one of the many flowering cherry trees.

Yee-Gads !! MLK looks REALLY MAD !! Not only that - but the pose with arms crossed over the chest is like SO in your face - - NOT like MLK at ALL !! I don't know WHO was responsible for that - - but I'm almost thinking atrocity here - - Surely the Family couldn't have known ??
The head sculptor was Lei Yixin from Hunan, China. There was quite a bit of controversy over his selection and the statue.

Thank you. I have several that are through the trees, framing with the branches, etc. I tried staying in the shade when possible. Most "keepers" will end up on the Flickr page.
