Photo of the Day (05/15/08)

Today's photo of the day is this shot of an airplane on approach to Washington's National airport. This 30 second exposure shows the path the airplane takes on a visual approach into DCA. It follows the Potomac river before hanging a right turn near the Washington monument.

The exposure worked out really well, as the ground and the monument can clearly be seen in the foreground. Notice the flashing wingtip strobe-lights showing up as evenly spaced dots on the red wingtips. Congratulations on yet another Photo of the Day, ohad*!
