Remember when parking to obey signs and if needed, make a payment at the machines or using the DC parking app. If this particular shot doesn't motivate, there are lots of sunrise opportunities, such as the Reflecting Pool, Vietnam Memorial, WWII, etc. Always remember to share your images back to the group to inspire others!
