The eye of God over Arlington National Cemetery

skyWalking near Arlington House by the staircase is my favorite place in Arlington National Cemetery. Sweeping view, interesting grave markers and a sense of the hardest walking is over makes it a nice spot to reflect.

I looked up to the cloudy sky and saw the sun through the clouds. But then, it was like there was a second sun to the left trying to poke out. A burn mark of sun that some say is the eye of God watching us. This photo isn’t of the sun, but it shining through clouds about a mile away.

I only had my iPhone to capture the photo above and it doesn’t do the scene justice. With a proper camera I could have shown it over the graves, but the light contrast wouldn’t let me do both with a simple iPhone.

But, it’s still cool. Makes us remember we’re not alone.
