That's a GREAT shot, seriously!

I like the contrast of light on the two sides of the monument and the obvious break in the construction in 1854 and didn't begin again until well after the Civil War in 1879 and was finally completed in 1884.

I try to look at the monument, covering up the yellowed blocks where the ivory blocks of limestone end, and imagine a Washington Monument that stood unfinished at that height.

Thanks for the +fav lil bro!

Washington is a great place to visit, but having lived in the area for 26+ years, you really start to hate the tourists...

I understand your sentiments...I grew up at the New Jersey shore. I worked at a gas station less than a mile from the beach and still folks from out of town would pull in and as, "Yo, buddy. Which way to da watah?" It was painfully tempting to point them west and tell them to follow the signs to the NJ Parkway...north. :)

Thanks for commenting and the +fav!

Even moreso on the Metro (Washington's subway system). Signs and announcements say "stand to the right, pass on the left on the escalators", and still the tourists are clueless about it, and clueless on how to use the farecard kiosks...

*giggles*

Yeah, Foxchild was mentioning that too. :)

I should hope so...we like walked across that same spot like three times in 90 minutes that day. :)
