Wear sunscreen n walking shoes and a rear view mirror- mass people jogging and sometimes you can get jolted by the speed they run by you.

Bring a sketchbook if you like to draw. Evening is best with the sunset shining and the reflection at its brightest.

A majestic Christmas tree was illuminated during the lighting ceremony on the Ellipse in Washington D.C. on Tuesday evening! It was awesome!
