For jaded Washingtonians, cherry blossom season is notable only for the
month-long respite from weekend track work on Metro.
Come on, you may be saying.
We've seen 'em before. And there are too many tourists. Standing on the wrong side of the escalators, clogging the sidewalks around the Tidal Basin.
Ugh. Spare us.
However, these gorgeous photos of the cherry trees--taken at night by a photographer using a flashlight to illuminate the blossoms from below--are something new. We (almost) guarantee you've never seen anything like them before. And they just may give you a new appreciation for these Washington icons.
