Greetings from Washington D.C.
The Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is perhaps one of the greatest monuments that you can visit in Washington D.C. Built after the ancient Greek temples, the memorial commands respect and reverence as you approach and enter the building. Abraham Lincoln sits in the middle of the center chamber and the sitting figure towers above you at 19 feet so if he were standing he would reach a height of 28 feet. The statue is so lifelike that even though it is chiseled out of stone it is as if the figure itself could stand up and walk out if it so desired. Opened 24 hours a day, this is one monument that shouldn't be missed.
