A series of cold nights, and a few chilly days too, have led to the complete freeze-over of the Potomac. For me it was a rare sight, as it seldom gets cold for a longer period of time. The river hardly get´s the chance to completely wrap the ice blanket, but this winter saw more successive cold days than usual. So, off we went to document this natural spectacle. 

Love this view through Roosevelt Island and Rooslyn to Georgetown.

Not a lot of snow, but a lot of ice. It´s not easy taking pictures when it´s freezing,

at some point my fingers startet getting numb in spite of gloves.

He´s got it easier, there´s always a President´s Taxi (Marine 1) waiting with a warm ride.

The direction is Langley - en route to the CIA?

View from 13th St. Bridge towards Memorial Bridge

Kennedy Center, Lincoln Memorial and National Cathedral as seen from 13th St. Bridge. The white square building right above the Kennedy Center is the Russian Embassy on the highest point of Wisconsin Avenue. No, this is not Photo-Shop, there is actually a point on 13th St. Bridge where this view is possible.

Cool view under the bridges.
