    The Lincoln Memorial, an iconic DC tourist attraction, is crowded and bustling year round. But in the middle of the night, when it’s empty and quiet, it becomes a very different place. It’s solemn and peaceful in a way that takes you by surprise. I lingered longer than I needed to when taking this photo.

    Part of my “slightly better versions of the pictures of local attractions you might find hanging in a cheap hotel room” series.

      @mattblaze@federate.social I was there in February 2020. I noticed the same change in the vibe as you when I went back in the daytime. I really enjoyed my visit there for seeing both sides of it.

      @mattblaze@federate.social I always have doubts about taking a photograph of something famous… there’s so many out there already and it’s hard to do anything that doesn’t feel tacky.
