Welcome to August. One month left of tourists, one month left of ugly summer heat, one month left before the politicos return to the Hill.

And one month before “Black Commute” day in September.

Speaking of which, hope your journey in wasn’t stressful. If it was, well, we’ve got you covered. (Even if it wasn’t, we’re still here for ya.) Check out the weekend through the lenses of several area photogs and start your week off right.
