These photos are all from my recent trip to Portsmouth, VA and Washington D.C. We were there for a family reunion. The scenery there was lovely and old and it was really cool for me, since I'm a West coaster and am not used to there being cool old stuff just everywhere. It was also ridiculously hot and I don't intend to ever, ever live there. But it's nice to visit and take pictures of. Most of the photos are unedited, because I have Photoshop now but I'm lazy, there are a ton, and I don't really know how to use Photoshop except for the very very basic stuff.

A lighthouse lamp (which is technically called a fresnel lens) that was inside the ship/museum. It's actually one size too big to have been used on a ship... it was about as tall as my torso and head, I think. There was no casing around it, since it's just in a museum, and they turned it on so we could see.
