Sketch a Day, Day 219

Here in the United States, we’re celebrating Independence Day, which of course involves fireworks and trips to the burn ward if done properly. We spent the evening watching the parents of one of our students set off one of the most impressive fireworks displays we’d ever seen. In a residential neighborhood. It was nifty.

Stoplight Skyline Photography

While driving home yesterday, I saw some pretty impressive skyline views here in Northern Virginia. I decided to try to capture some of those views with my phone using the Hipstamatic app. I’m pretty pleased with the shots I came up with, which you’ll find below.

"NoVA Skyline" may not have the same ring as "Nashville Skyline," but it's still pretty.

I actually got a stoplight in this one.

I kind of love the colors in this one.

I tried to get artsy with this one and get a reflection from my mirror.
