Lincoln Memorial

This was one of the main sights I wanted to see in the US. It's always seemed to have an atmosphere about it when I've seen it on TV.

As you approach the memorial you are met with a long flight of steps leading up to a very Roman style building. The structure looks out on the Washington Monument.

As you enter the Statue of Lincoln does not disappoint. It is bold and wise looking, very powerful. On each of the inside walls there are texts regarding the freeing of black slaves. The whole atmosphere was both astounding and humbling. I'd strongly advise George Bush to visit here to remember what he represents and what he has been elected to do. Stop misleading people George!
