Lincoln Memorial at sunset Washington Monument at sunset reflected in Reflecting Pool
As we raced back down the bike path in the fading light to return our rental bikes, we couldn't resist stopping for this view of the Lincoln Memorial at sunset.

The next morning, as we headed to the Capitol for a tour, we passed this nice view of it in a Reflecting Pool. While waiting outside the Capitol for our tour to begin, we enjoyed seeing the Capitol Dome through the fall foliage.
