The memorial is located at the Tidal Basin. Took this originally in color. Ran it through Lightroom and thought it looked cooler in B and W. Added a little vignette to it.
When the Park Service acutally had funding to keep the fountains running on and around the National Mall! Very sad!
This is the Great Depression line at the FDR Memorial. Took this in color, but when I put through Lightroom I made it Sepia and added the grain to it. I was trying to capture and make this a old school vintage style photo.
They have iron mesh fencing on the side of the Manhattan Bridge which makes it very difficult to take photos. Someone kindly (illegally?) cut a hole just wide enough to poke a camera through. In my rush I wish I'd used a longer exposure...maybe I'll try it again the next time I go.
The bridge in the background is the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge.

This is a shot of one of the waterfalls in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. FDR was certainly one of the more impactful U.S. Presidents, and his sprawling memorial is a must see in D.C.
Thanks for looking and enjoy the weekend!

Franklin D. Roosevelt managed to pull Americans out of the Great Depression and lead them to victory in World War II. His support of an active federal government shaped American politics through the remainder of the 20th century. FDR was a Democrat, and his package of federally-supported public works and social programs was known collectively as the New Deal. Roosevelt was so popular he was elected four times — a lengthy run which later led to the passage of the 22nd Amendment, restricting presidents to two terms. He died in office in 1945, only a few months into his fourth term and just a few months before the end of the war.
