[Scan-DC] Balloon

[djoneses]

Balloon up over the 11th St. bridge today (Saturday).  I did hear DCA tower warn a helicopter.

I just (~6:25 PM) snapped a couple of lame pictures from my rooftop in Ballston. They must have been reeling the blimp in. I took one picture, then by the time I took the next one, the blimp was way down low, then it disappeared altogether. Doesn't look like it's the size of the Hindenburg.

The link below is my Shutterfly album of the two lame pictures I managed to get. A third picture in the album is a zoomed-in cropped version (three pictures total).  I was going to take some better shots, but I was lucky to catch the ones that I did.
