Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC, 2020.

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 fdr is another late night gem
@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.
