Old Town Alexandria, originally uploaded by Rob Bluey.

Ask anyone who has flown into Reagan National Airport and they’ll tell you the views are amazing. If you’re arriving from the north, you have a great view of the nation’s capital. Come up from the south and you get to see the beautiful landscape of Virginia.

Today on my way back from Atlanta, I pulled out my camera and snapped a few shots as we began our descent. The photo above is a view of Old Town Alexandria. At the top of the picture you’ll see the George Washington Masonic Memorial.

There are a few other shots on my Flickr page, including this one of Fort Washington, another of Fort Belvoir and Mount Vernon and this one of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. My apologies that they didn’t come out better; my window was kind of dirty.
