While attending a recent business meeting in Alexandria, VA, I looked out of the 6th floor conference room window at the local scenery, dominated by the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. Following a chilly, misty morning, supplied by the nearby Potomac River, I was surprised to see the weather had cleared, replacing the mist with sun and fluffy clouds. Shooting through the (thankfully) clean window, I captured this picture.

The monument was constructed from private funds and dedicated on 12th May 1932. The Memorial, with its 333 foot tower, is situated on top of historic Shooters Hill, and is open to the public daily free of charge.
