| the incredibly famous reflecting pool which sets a fitting tone for the lincoln memorial. |
| even though i've seen tons of pictures of this statue, the cliche is true: there's nothing quite like seeing the real thing. |
| normally, i try to get as few people as possible in a landscape shot, but in this case, it seemed fitting to capture the number of people paying their respects to a great president. |
| we walked to this spot late on our last day in DC. i'm sure the actual statue of jefferson is amazing, but we were way too tired to walk around the tidal basin to see for ourselves. next time. |
| see, it's very pretty from the outside. oh! i think you can see a little bit of mr. jefferson's silhouette! |
| mark risked his life against 4 lanes of crazy DC traffic to take this picture in front of john paul jones (the revolutionalry, not the led zepplin bassist), because he did a report on this man in 8th grade. see- education matters. |
