Summary

[edit]
Description

The Lincoln Memorial, looking west from the Washington Monument. The Potomac River and Arlington, Virginia are in the background. The Arlington Memorial Bridge goes off to the left. The Reflecting Pool, which runs between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument on the Mall, is in the foreground.

You can see the Netherlands Carillon on the Virginia side. The Iwo Jima Memorial is near the carillon, but I can't make it out. On the left edge is "Resurrection City," a shanty town that was built in the Mall for a few weeks, as part of a political demonstration. Remember, this was 1968.
