And now……at night – November 9th

1 Comment / Uncategorized / By

Here are pictures of our night tour of Washington. It was an incredible way to see the City. We felt we had the city to ourselves. We also felt very safe wandering around. To be fair, we had hired a private tour guide who drove us to each monument and then met us afterwards to taxi us to the next one. The monuments we saw during the day look nothing like the spectacular views all lit up at night. This was a PERFECT ending to our stay in this great city!

The White House
The Capital
Martin Luther King JR. Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. (The mountain is the two large pieces that are cut in half, showing MLK)
Martin Luther King JR
Korean Memorial, these soldiers lit up at night were lifelike
The etched wall at night was haunting and beautiful. All panels were done from actual photos so real people who where there
Lincoln at night
Washington Monument, Lincoln’s view
Lincoln memorial
These are all from WWII Memorial.
3 service men statue at the Vietnam Memorial
Two nurses and a soldier at Vietnam memorial
The Marine Corps memorial in Arlington Virginia. Iwo Jima was where this photo was taken and then bronzed. These soldiers risked their lives to raise this flag. This happened in Feb 1945
The Pentagon. There was NO ONE around, other than police, so Barb and I had the place to ourselves.
Pentagon 911 War Memorial. These are benches, one for everyone who perished. If the bench is facing towards the Pentagon, they perished in the Plane. If the bench faces away from the Pentagon, they perished in the building. Very beautifully well done
