| It is rare to see that much ice on the Potomac River. |
 |
| The Reach, better in color or black and white? |

| The night before a pickup truck had an accident and went off the side of the next bridge downriver, the Memorial Bridge. The two people in the truck died from exposure to the freezing water (one was not found until the next day when the truck was craned out of the river.) |

| Warming up for the performance |
 |
| This was probably 20 minutes before curtain time, most of those seats filled in. |

| Sweetie Bear looking dashing. |

The river doesn't seem to be frozen, but covered with floating ice? Whatever, it is cold. The Kennedy Centre looks like a beautiful performance space.
ReplyDeleteProbably 1-2 inches of ice, with a layer of snow. Thinner near the middle.
DeleteLooks like a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy being close enough to easily get out to see things.
DeleteCatching the door opening in the first pic was brilliant. The Reach was not looking its best that day, either in BW or color. Yes, I am dashing, ain't I? 😘
ReplyDeleteI waited for the door to be at an angle
DeleteI like that pop of color in the window on the bottom photo of The Reach but overall the black and white photo wins.
ReplyDeleteI keep black and white on one of the program clicks on my camera.
DeleteAwesome photos that brought back a memory. Sometime around the beginning. 1990's, I went to DC for a wedding. I arrived a day early to have a look around on my own and the concierge at the hotel got me a ticket to see a performance at the Kennedy Center. I was so excited. It was the very beginning of cell phones and I tried desperately to call home from the patio around the center to tell my family where I was. I could never get cell coverage. I had to wait and call from the hotel. I just remember being so thrilled to be there.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to trigger a memory.
DeleteAren't those lights and chandeliers lovely?! I wonder who has the job of keeping them clean? ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great evening!
This one was a Friday midday performance, a little less crowded than the evenings and I don't have to drive home after dark. We had tickets for 2 or 3 of the midday programs this year.
DeleteWe used to enjoy going there. Never saw the Potomac iced over. Great pic of J. I like the subtle glow of color photo better.
ReplyDeleteIt was a long cold spell. Welcome Home!
DeleteLove the lobby, love the selfie, love the view. Love it all.
