"Foliage Foraging"

A week 'foliage foraging' in the first week of October started with Washington which Jacky hadn't seen and which turned out to be a star. Neither of us are much into ruins and old history but Washington's museums and memorials (of which the Space and Aeronautical is the king!) are immediately and impressively relevant. The influence of everything that happens here radiates to all parts of the globe - whether for good or evil!


We landed at Dulles at 3pm and by 5pm were out on the trail.

The Washington Memorial (right) dominates the landscape. And before sunset we had also 'ticked off' the Jefferson Memorial (below). As the sun set, the atmospheric Second World War 'Atlantic Section' Memorial showed up well. But the sunset had a more dramatic surprise in store
