From the Washington Monument / by Matthew Bryant

It was a nice overcast and cool (~50 F) morning for a run along the National Mall. After my run I stood in line for about an hour to get a ticket to go up to the top of the Washington Monument—the world’s tallest free-standing stone structure at 550+ ft. I went back at 1 pm for my trip to the top and took these through the viewing windows there. Well worth the trip!
