From the Potomac to the Lincoln Memorial

It was my first time visiting the United States in 2003. I had only seen the sights of America in pictures. The Lincoln Memorial is truly a must-see for anyone who visits Washington, D.C., The statue of Abraham Lincoln looks extraordinary, and the view outside of the Washington Monument from across the reflecting pool is something else that one should not miss.

There is also a good walk from the nearest Metro stop to the Lincoln Memorial. It is easy to access the Korean War Memorial and the World War II Memorial as well.

The drive all the way from Virginia to Washington, D.C., just to see these amazing monuments was an amazing experience. What inspired me particularly was the tall Lincoln statue that I had wanted to see in person.

This building is nothing short of grandeur, and the best time to visit this beauty is just before sunset because the lighting during that time makes the monument shine brightly.

The tall pillars are an incredible sight for the eyes. Walk into the memorial and you will see the magnificent Abraham Lincoln sitting greatly in his chair.

If you are in D.C., do not skip this place. It’s both a historical and an architectural marvel that will continue to stand for ages.
