“Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.”

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. - max ehrmann

It rained buckets but that just brought in light fog and created awesome reflecting pools. It was a good evening.

The Washington Monument is a large, tall, sand-colored obelisk near the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is a United States Presidential Memorial constructed to commemorate the first U.S. president, George Washington. The monument, made of marble, granite, and sandstone, is both the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 555 feet 5.5 inches in height. It is also the tallest structure in Washington, DC.

A rather better view than it was on our last visit in 2011 when the "reflecting pool" was in fact a sea of brown dirt and the only reflections to be found were those in the plexiglass windows of earthmoving equipment. I seem to recall it was also encircled by one of those horrible flappy lurid-orange plastic fences so beloved of workmen and so loathed by photographers.
Apparently the old pool had turned into a stinking foetid mess of stagnancy, populated only by creatures one step up from bacteria and the occasional floating turd. Kind of like Doncaster, with fewer teenage prostitutes. Whatever, the Americans had the balls to order the complete destruction of an iconic scene which had become a national embarrassment. The result was its regeneration into something wonderful. We could learn a lot from that philosophy in Britain, I reckon.
People pose for their photo while standing on the frozen reflecting pool of the Lincoln Memorial's reflicting, turned to ice by many days of sub-freezing temperatures in Washington DC.
