Autumn at Arlington National Cemetery

I'd like to claim that these beautiful pictures from Arlington National Cemetery were taken on a crisp, autumn day.  Truth is, they were taken in December.  Isn't that amazing?  Just as the hot, humid summers never seem to end here, the fall season lasts long beyond the typical October expiration date prevalent in other areas of the country.

I know some of the pictures are a bit similar to one another (especially the sign for the "Tomb of the Unknown Solider"), but sometimes it is just too hard to pick a favorite shot or angle. 

The last shot (the shot with the stars) is a fence at Arlington that I thought was really interesting.
