Walkabout the WWII and Lincoln Memorials

Every once in a while we take a morning walk along the tidal basin. There is a great place to park which helps. But rather than always walk around the tidal basin, we walk over to the WWII Memorial. Last week we did just that for the purpose of finding photos for the challenge. The subject was water and there were many opportunities. We particularly like the view looking towards the Capitol in the distance. I always think of my parents when we go there. My dad was in the Coast Guard and my mom was in the Navy during WWII. I can only imagine what and how they would think today about world affairs. After milling about this area we then walk along the reflecting pool toward the Lincoln Memorial. It’s about a mile round trip. This time the Rutgers football team was visiting - one hundred plus red shirted people were quite visible including Rutgers police officers. You couldn’t miss them if you tried. The Korean War Memorial was also recently updated with a memorial pool and wall. There is always something to see around here. It’s great for photo ops, a morning walk, or just reminiscing.
