World War II Memorial

The memorials and monuments of Washington, D.C., are inspiring during the day, but at night, they are simply mesmerizing. On a chilly November night, I decided to stroll by the monuments. I had especially wanted to see the Jefferson Memorial light up over the Tidal Basin. As we passed the WWII Memorial, I stopped, awestruck by the sight of the fountains, the Lincoln Memorial in the distance, and the other visitors taking in the powerful moment of remembrance.
