This is clearly not D.C., but it’s taken by, Bo Tan, a Chinese photographer currently based in the district. As a person and a photographer, I have particular interests: the colors green, blue, and orange, mountains, gas stations, and mid-afternoon sunlight that softens hues a little while still creating odd shadows. Bo’s image has all of that in a wonderfully framed scene.

I love that Exposed DC has the ability to illuminate places that local photographers travel and document. I’m excited to see my peers’ adventures on my screen, vicariously living through your pictures. Keep making clever frames my D.C. metro friends!

(And don’t forget to enter your photographs — of D.C. by D.C. photographers — in our annual contest before January 11.)
