2 Hours on the Mall visiting Monuments - Jan. 2012

60 degrees in January, so I went downtown to photograph some monuments I had never photographed. My favorites were the Korean War and Martin Luther King memorials. Least favorite was WW2, but since a cousin was a POW in that war, I couldn't pass it by. I need to go back to see FDR, as I ran out of daylight for him! All pics were taken between 3:00 and 5:00 as the sun was getting low in the sky. I sure live in a beautiful city! To see a larger picture, double click on a thumbnail!
