friday my:dc : the mall at night

May 30th, 2008 | Filed under: random, washington, dc

Sure, a lot of visitors to DC pay a visit to The Mall, taking in the monuments and the various Smithsonian museums. That’s all well and good.

But once the sun goes down, the crowds scatter. Yes, there’s been a handful of criminal incidents on The Mall in the post-sunset hours, but it’s not all that different than any other part of the city in that regard. But when you clear the place of crowds, it gains a certain level of tranquility that is most awesome.

So I present these two photos for your perusal - enjoy!

Wanna see more? Hillary, sprite, Sarah, and MsP are all photo-happy and willing to share their unique DC-based views.

  1. As a native, I’m just blown away. I never thought about it, and it’s absolutely beautiful.
