The National Cherry Blossom Festival at the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC is in full swing! I went over there on Thursday in late afternoon to catch the sunset. I have never seen the cherry blossom festival at sunset; I was curious how the warm lighting would affect the famous scenery. As the sun set, the dome of the memorial glowed. The golden light turned orangish, then pink. The sky was the harmony of pink, mauve, and blue. The drama lasted about half an hour. I returned home elevated by what I had just witnessed.

That's gorgeous! I've never seen it in person so I'm glad you posted the pictures. Your painting glows, too.
