I never saw blue like that before...

At least there's one pretty thing in DC that isn't covered in marble or concrete. As I got off the metro tonight after happy hour w/the coworkers, I looked up into the most beautiful blueness I think I may have ever seen. The sky was a wash of deep dark royal blue with electric blue tinges on the edges. More than the color, what struck me was the complete smoothness of it--not a cloud anywhere...the most high-resolution, highly saturated sky ever. It was one of those things you wish you could take with you in a little box and open it up when you feel numb so you can breathe in the wonder of it again.
