Not quite like the bullet proof limos they use today. This is the actual carriage George Washington used to get around. It is on display in his garage at Mt. Vernon.

I went to the yards for a game with the Nats on Sunday. I believe this clock has been there since the beginning which is now 20 years. I remember when they were building that place and it is hard to believe it has been 20 years. Even harder for me to believe is the H and the E light up to tell us if it is a hit or an error. In 20 years I did not know this until last week 🙂

I shot this from the stands so it is a pretty heavy crop. I had an FD 135mm mounted on the G2 and it didn’t get close enough from where we were sitting. The  Nats lost in the 8th but it was a good game. Hotter than hell and sold out so it was sticky in there.

Grabbed this shot from the tidal basin area. It is a slightly different view than what is normally seen. OK, I am a lazy ass and should have photoshopped out the big light in the middle of the picture…. Oh well. Maybe next time 🙂

You have to wait in line to get into the main building at Mt. Vernon. So while sitting there I decided to play around with the G2.

I went to Mt. Vernon last summer with my Mom. I took this shot with the Panny G2 and kit lens. It was a very interesting place to visit. You can walk through the house but no pictures were allowed to be taken inside. The outside grounds were pretty amazing. I will post  a few more from this set in the coming days…
