Another photo I took during a recent weekend in NYC. I love how the colors really pop in the artificial lights of a city night.

Thai Coca-Cola cans

Thai Coke can III, originally uploaded by soleil1016.

Coca-Cola marketed special edition aluminum cans in honor of last summer's Olympic games. I saw the first discarded can, labeled with Coke written in Thai, while I was in Chicago back in June. Since then I've seen two other "Thai cans" littering D.C.'s streets, both stumbled upon randomly and shot exactly as I found them. Maybe I'll start a series. =)

Rock Creek Parkway by Night

Having some fun with light trails. If you look closely, you can see the Air Force 9/11 Memorial off in the distance, all the way across the river in Virginia.

The two wings of D.C.'s National Gallery of Art are connected by an underground tunnel that creates some cool photo opportunities. At the moment, a new installation there looks like it spices it up a bit. Might have to go down and take some new pictures.

Show-Off

Show Off - B&W, originally uploaded by soleil1016.

This great egret at the Assateague Island refuge off the Virginia/Maryland eastern shore was putting on a big show trying to chase another bird out of his space. The other bird took off shortly after this little dance!
