The District at Night

My sister-in-law is visiting this week, so we decided to explore the monuments at night. It's a truly different experience that gave me a whole new appreciation for the majestic structures. Plus, traffic was low and parking was easy :-) These are some pictures I took:


The Washington Monument, just before sunset.


The Capitol Building


The Jefferson Memorial


Jefferson stands proudly, looking at the White House across the National Mall.


The eerie face of an American soldier at the Korean War Memorial.


The Lincoln Memorial


Lincoln and all his grandeur.


The beautiful World War II Memorial
