The Washington Monument

The Washington Monument has undergone a major facelift and I just wanted to shoot it at night to enhance it's mysterious - a la Dan Brown - qualities.  To me it's just the wold's biggest phallic symbol but that may be due to my dirty mind. Nevertheless, it's a very impressive structure. The daytime shot is here as a different point of view of the Mall.
I realize that this is tax day so at least some of our taxes  are well spent.
