River Views

Imagine having that many windows in the back of your house. This lot sits on the top of a cliff that looks over... wait for it... the Potomac River. Not everyone gets to see the river from a place like this. Most of the properties along the banks [cliffs] are diplomat housing, and they often turn people away (even if you get a flat while driving by the front of their property and you need to stop to change your tire - ask my brother about that one). While it still has quite the backyard space, a short walk will take you to the rocky ledge, where you can look out over the river. It's stunning. I happened to be there at sunset to prepare for my shoot, and I got to watch the sky morph from light, to twilight, to dark from this unmatched vantage point. Here are a few images from my iPhone's camera showing the view:

This image is taken towards the northeast. 

This image is taken towards the west (and in this case, the sunset).

And this is the view looking straight down over the edge of the cliff. 

A truly gorgeous property. Apparently, the property is under contract and the buyers are planning on demolishing the current house and building a new, two story (EVEN better views, if that's possible) home in it's place. Maybe one day I'll get to see that house... here's to hoping.
