Traveler: Photo Gallery: Washington D.C. Sunset

Shot in November 2010 on my Sony Cyber-Shot camera, mostly from the Lincoln Memorial, but also other places in and around Washington D.C's National Mall. Sunset is my favourite time of the day, and it's particularly spectacular in the American capital.

Jefferson Memorial - the dome above the columns is spectacular.

Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial.

Tidal Basin & Jefferson Memorial. See the two people walking along the path? Amazing time for a stroll.

The Washington Monument - the most majestic of all.

Plane from nearby Reagan National Airport (Arlington County, Virginia) over the Lincoln Memorial at sunset. One of my favourite photos ever.

The Korean War Memorial and, in the distant background, the Lincoln Memorial.

The Washington Monument and the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. One of the classic views in a city full of them.

This one taken from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

 
The Lincoln Memorial, literally seconds after last light. Old Abe looks very pale.

The moon and the white spire, the Washington Monument.

 Another plane overhead, from Reagan National Airport.

Washington Monument through the trees.

A Potomac River sunset. Arlington House - formerly the home of Robert E. Lee - is visible here. See the American flag and look down from that.
