It was a dark and not-yet-stormy night

Today we enjoyed a day of freezing mist in advance of the coming Snowpocalypse.  Here the Capitol dome is barely visible through the mist and a break in the bare winter trees. 

I wanted to catch the red "don't fly into me" light at the very top of the crane, but didn't have my tripod with me and couldn't hold the camera steady long enough.

I like all of my pictures to be beautiful, but sometimes you just have to tell it like it is - and today was a pretty ugly day.
