Washington, DC

After photographing the DAWN . 2000 US Troops Dead Assemblance Rally www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/sets/1222336/ on the west side of the Memorial Bridge in Arlington VA I'd walk home along the Tidal Basin to SW WDC where in the process, along Independence Avenue between 17th and 15th Streets, in SW, I'd take this picture of the Jefferson Memorial .
