Nice series, Dennis. The second shot is my winner.

The words in number 6 are just as valid today as they were then. Great timing. And a beautiful photo tour of an impressive building.
Complete agreement from me. Those words, spoken nearly 160 years ago, should be re-read frequently by all.
Great ‘walk-thru” Den… you nailed it!

If only the entire nation would visit this memorial. Then maybe they would understand the true meaning of "God Bless America"
Nice shots Dennis. Need more like him now.

D.C. is my home and will always be. Went to High School and first out of college job there. I (used to ) know it and love it. Thanks for great photos sharing some of the views of this great memorial. - Wonderful photos almost wherever you go. The Capital, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress (my favorite dome), Jefferson Memorial, U.S. Mint, and on and on. National Geographic HQ, local streets, the Naval Observatory, Mount Vernon, the Pentagon - so many to see. I love it still - although the traffic has gotten terrible with all the one-way streets and restricted parking.
Loved the tour, it’s been a long time since I was there. Wonderful images.

We took our granddaughter to Washington D.C. in April and stopped by the Lincoln Memorial to view the statue one more time. The reflection pools were being cleaned which was unfortunate timing on our part. Despite that, it was a memorable visit.
"The Lincoln Memorial is a US national memorial built to honor the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument, and is in the form of a neoclassical temple. The memorial's architect was Henry Bacon. The designer of the memorial interior's large central statue, Abraham Lincoln (1920), was Daniel Chester French; the Lincoln statue was carved by the Piccirilli brothers.[3] The painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin, and the epitaph above the statue was written by Royal Cortissoz. Dedicated in May 1922, it is one of several memorials built to honor an American president."
