Ready to Rumble No. 2 - A Gravelly Point Moment

The bold livery of this Southwest 737 lends a vivid splash of colors to the fading twilight of a summer evening, as
the aircraft begins to turn into Runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to start its take-off roll..

In the telephoto-compressed distance, delineated by the row of horizontal lights and the v-shaped beams, is the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge, which carries the Capital Beltway across the broad Potomac River. Also in the distance,
one can make out another airliner which has just turned off the runway after landing at Reagan National (DCA).

A lagoon separates Gravelly Point, a popular spot for plane-watching, from DCA's real estate.
