Really picturesque view, we were very lucky that on the day I visited, it was a clear blue sky, so were able to get some superb pictures, if you like the Lincoln Memorial, you will love this. Full review by F1LoverAnn

This is a majestic structure and is well worth a visit when in Washington, DC. The setting for it is just prefect. Make sure you visit it. Full review by Skip G
