weekly photo challenge: monument
When we visited Washington DC, the one monument we were MOST looking forward to was the Lincoln Memorial. Without a doubt, we knew this was to be our entry into this week’s photo challenge.
We were completely in awe when we saw it – the sheer size alone was a great representation of his legacy!

That’s a real nice image of the Lincoln Memorial, almost monochromatic 🙂
I haven’t been to DC but I’d esp like to visit the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial – designed by Chinese-American artist Maya Lin – she was just 21 when he had to argue her controversial design in front of a Federal Commission in Washington.
A film about the story is here if interested…

Nice shot…somehow, whenever I see this…I am reminded of the movie, “Planet of the Apes”..weird, isn’t it? 🙂

😉 Definitely different and interesting thing to remember!

It’s impressive, isn’t it? I’m very spoiled to live so close. Did you go to any of the Smithsonian museums when you were in DC?
April 12, 2014 at 4:44 pm
It is very very impressive 🙂 You are so very lucky! We were only in DC for 3 days so did not get to visit many museums – think only 2 of the Smithsonian ones. Need to go back 🙂

We try to make a couple of trips per year to the Smithsonian Museums. I love the art galleries and the natural history museum.
There’s so much to do there that three days isn’t nearly enough. I don’t even think that I’ve seen everything!

Seems you were treated to a stony stare 😉
April 12, 2014 at 11:07 am
Heheh – love your comments every time! Hope you are well 🙂
April 13, 2014 at 12:07 pm
Well indeed, thank you, and hope you are too. I am looking forward to your next walk 🙂
April 12, 2014 at 7:33 am
That is on my to do list. Lovely photo.
April 12, 2014 at 7:59 am
Thank you 🙂 – we were thrilled we could tick this from our to-see list!!

You are welcome; one day I will. 🙂
