Took some great photos today of the #JBAndrewsAirShow from the ninth floor of #Dock79 on the #AnacostiaRiver. Loved the #USAFThunderbirds, especially! Huge planes - even from ~10 miles away.

@WTOP @washingtonpost @TheSouthwester @HillRagDC @capitalweather @newfdmb Photos from 2:43a and 8:48a today. Magnified voice, after pleading with him last night, are again asking him to come down. Many police cars and a "folding arm" are waiting below.

@dcfireems @DCPoliceDept @USCG @capitalweather @nbcwashington @ABCNewsLive @TheSouthwester @WTOP He must be pretty cold up there. Wind has picked up. He is barefoot, it appears. Last photo - am off to the Nats game.

[Marideth Joy Sandler @maridethjoy]

@TheSouthwester What is he holding in his hand (round cylinder) and what is in his black bag?? Man sitting on top of span closest to Anacostia side of Douglass Bridge. Hope someone is monitoring....

[Marideth Joy Sandler @maridethjoy]

@dcfireems @DCPoliceDept @USCG @capitalweather @nbcwashington @ABCNewsLive @TheSouthwester This person is sitting on the top of the Douglass Bridge span over Anacostia R, flying a long black ribbon. On the phone when I photographed him at about 3:25p. Anyone know what is up?

@capitalweather @weatherchannel @NWS @DCSailors On the Anacostia River late this afternoon, there was a "bit of a breeze." Like gusting to 30mph. This outstanding sailor had a great heeled sail.

@capitalweather Spotted swimming upstream at the Frederick Douglass Bridge...maybe with baby whale/lenticular underneath!

Tonight's aurora was pretty extraordinary. Here is a real-time video showing the rapid motion and vivid colors. All I could do while watching this was smile and laugh.. it's a pretty unique feeling seeing the sky move like this. Good night!

[Marideth Joy Sandler @maridethjoy]

@capitalweather Lots of lightning coming with it! Photo opps!

[Marideth Joy Sandler @maridethjoy]

@capitalweather Love your shadow, too. Great take!

@capitalweather Cab drivers, years ago, used to say this is 'pneumonia weather' when I first arrived from Alaska.
