Week 14: Sun

You may have noticed, but I love doing sun bursts with my photography! I think they are so much fun and they look so cool because none of it is photo-shopped! Yes, this shot was taken during St. Patty's Day, but I have not had a chance to blog about my 52 Weeks lately! So here it is. It was a crazy day in NYC with people everywhere, but I really liked how the sun positioned itself near the cathedral and backlit the American flags simultaneously. 


I was walking in the opposite direction, turned around, saw this and it becomes part of my 52 Weeks of Awesomeness project. Awesome how that works, isn't it? As they say, sometimes the best pictures are behind you. Has that ever happened to you?
