The Lincoln Memorial

Late last summer I took a trip to Washington DC and decided to spend my last night photographing the Lincoln Memorial. I waited patiently for about 2 hours while the crowds made their way through. Then, at about midnight, the last person left and I was alone with Mr. Lincoln. As I set up this shot, I was overwhelmed with a great sense of awe....of all that this great man had done. I just stood there, sort of frozen in time. When I got home later that week, I looked back at this photo and was surprised to see that I had unknowingly captured the entire Gettysburg Address on the left wall.
