Illuminated Tribute

Thanks to all who comment or favorite; it is always appreciated!

 

I took this photograph of the Washington Monument illuminated against the night sky. Standing 555 feet tall, this iconic obelisk pays tribute to George Washington, the first President of the United States. Situated on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the monument's impressive presence is even more striking when lit at night. The golden illumination highlights its grandeur and historical significance, attracting visitors worldwide.

 

The Washington Monument was finished in 1884, and its construction encountered various challenges, including funding issues and the Civil War. Today, it stands as a symbol of national pride and resilience. Each time I visit, I am reminded of the rich history and the immense effort that went into creating this masterpiece.
