Washington DC: From the top of the Washington Monument

The Washington Monument had only recently re-opened after damage from an earthquake that had caused the need for several years of repairs.  Booking tickets to go up the monument several months in advance, the view was worth the effort!  Below are photos from all four sides of the Washington Monument, as it is in the epicenter of the National Mall.  The first photo is of the Capitol Building.  The second of the Jefferson Memorial in the Potomac.  The third of the Lincoln Memorial.  And the last of the White House.
