Regardless of where you\u2019re at, the summer atmosphere is ever-present, making daily activities even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>For the 4th of July, I went down to Washington DC to see how the capital celebrates Independence Day, and I was not disappointed. Despite the high temperatures and humidity, people came to the festivities \u2013 the parade was full of excitement, balloons, dancing, classic cars and joy. The fireworks in the evening was also spectacular and very long. They had star-shaped fireworks, smiley-faced ones and a lot more. Unfortunately, because of the lack of wind (probably), 5 minutes into the show, too much smoke accumulated, so the rest of the fireworks were not too visible. <strong>I was joking with my friends that it felt like episode 3 from the last season of Game of Thrones<\/strong> (no spoilers ahead, don\u2019t worry) \u2013 what has happening there seemed really cool, but we could barely see it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I also had to respect American tradition and celebrate the day with a barbecue! The weather was not the best, since there were scattered rains throughout the day, but a few drops were never going to spoil our enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, 4<sup>th<\/sup> of July was not the highlight of my month. As an all-things-nature enthusiast, I was very much looking forward to seeing Manhattanhenge with my own eyes \u2013 about 4 days a year, the sunset or sunrise is aligned with the street direction of Manhattan. <strong>I was disappointed when I could not see it in May, because of the rain, but this time I made sure not to miss it \u2013 and, boy, did it deliver!<\/strong> To me, it is an amazing synergy between natural order and human creation. And I am very appreciative to be part of shaping the latter.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15575 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20190712_201434-300x146.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"752\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20190712_201434-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20190712_201434-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20190712_201434-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/20190712_201434-740x360.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class='_form_264'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/architect-us.activehosted.com\/f\/embed.php?static=0&id=264&69E518E5118AA&nostyles=0&preview=0'><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spending July in the US is a truly unique experience.
