The last on the monument, memorial and museum tour was Lincoln. This one was a lot more crowed than the Jefferson Memorial; may be because it was a bit more accessible?

Inside the Memorial one comes face to face — or more precisely face to ankle — with the rendition of the man himself.  Along the walls the words he spoke.  In all a very impressive monument, one worthy of silence and reflection.  

The weather on our first day in Washington was mixed; there was sun, wind, cloud and rain.  Bad for touring, good for photography.  I caught each of these elements in this shot as we walked to the Jefferson Memorial.

The next stop on our return was Washington–a city of monuments, memorials and museums.  Our hotel was located just a few blocks from the Lincoln Memorial, although it was the last one we visited.  The Washington Monument was the first: This Monument is protected by a ring of flags.
