I took this photo in Washington. The sun was coming down quickly and I wanted to get closer to the Lincoln Memorial to take a better photo of its reflection. I recall running down the side of the reflecting pool taking photos along the way on the run. Turned out that my favorite photo from that night was this one, taken early in my run. I liked it because I have not seen a photo of the Lincoln Memorial taking from this vantage point.

This is a great photo, and the colors is magnificent!
I wish I would have seen it like that! Duh, now I have! Superb photo!
I know what you mean, seeing it in person was magnificant!
The angles seems to be following that straight line to infinity. Just so we don't get too complacent, the monument shows up! The sunset glow seems even more impressive as it peers around the columns. Excellent capture!
Beautyful, impressive, and very graphic! great shot!
this a is truly a lovely shot with all those shades of purple and silhouettes - I was in washington for the first time last Summer and loved visiting all the monuments - so moving and interesting at the same time..
Marvelous perspective in your beautiful sunset photo of this lovely memorial and reflective pool!
