Alison M
Participant1/13/2025 – CLOAK
Every winter, the owners of this enormous wooden dragon sculpture cloak it in tarp to protect against the elements. Each spring it emerges from its waterproof lair to terrorize the neighborhood again.

ParticipantResults for the week ending 1/12/2025:
1/6 CYBER
Alison M made us smile, that bikes will outlast Cybertrucks.
CVCalhoun’s photo was dramatic, especially the clouds and hill.
Serdar’s mention of contactless paying is a good example of cyber.1/7 SPRIG
DCAKen’s Sprig Sprout phô store did look inviting and he got a somewhat synonym with ‘sprout’.
CVCalhoun’s holly was seasonally appropriate.
Serdar’s snow-covered sprig was very appropriate on a snow day.1/8 ATLAS
CaseyKane50’s reference to Atlas Shrugged was good.
Serdar’s showed an eye for a nice photo that was right on point for a snowy day.
CVCalhoun’s Atlas bulldog made us laugh.1/9 DRAFT
Alison M’s photo in front of Cinema N Drafthouse and the placement of the bicycle was great. The venue has hosted several bicycle themed movies and events.
consularrider’s nod to the first African-American chosen in an NFL draft was a good reminder of history.1/10 WAFER
Fiona’s really captured the thin, flat nature of a wafer of ice. Also, she had to notice it while riding, stop and pick it up, and take the photo so it captures the serendipity of a scavenger hunt.1/11 CRAWL
Alison’s ants photo was whimsical and colorful.1/12 DINGY
Indiana’s dark, gloomy, dirty street (with a trash can, too) was great.———
Reminder that your photos must be in before midnight of the day that word was the subject of the hunt. If you have a technical difficulty posting, please let us know.
Great job, everyone. You are making judging difficult.

Participant1/13 cloak
Saint Dominic in cloak, poised to catch Venus before the cloak of darkness falls
(Venus is that small speck of reflected light. I had to kneel in the snow to catch the right angle. This is outside the House of Dominican Studies across from Catholic University, where I thought I might find some living cloaked figures.)

Participant1/13/2025 CLOAK
A famous cloak and dagger operation happened here. Betrayal by traitorous CIA officer Aldrich Ames brought death sentences to several U.S. spies in the Soviet Union. Ames delivered secrets for cash to his Soviet handlers through a series of dead drops located throughout the Washington area. One was under this pedestrian bridge. (I assume it was less well lit back then, but it still looks pretty spooky now.)
