Lincolnmonumentet

«Lincolnmonumentet» (på engelsk Lincoln Memorial) er eit nasjonalmonument i Washington D.C. i USA oppført 1915–1922 til minne om Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), som var USAs 16. president 1861–1865. Monumentet er utforma som eit dorisk marmortempel med ei kjempestatue av presidenten. Det er plassert på National Mall, eit grøntområde som strekkjer seg frå Det kvite hus i nord ned via Washingtonmonumentet til Jefferson Memorial ved Potomac River. Monumentet vart designa av arkitekten Henry Bacon og marmorstatuen laga av billedhoggeren Daniel Chester French.

Lincolnmonumentet var staden der den svara borgerrettsforkjemperen Martin Luther King halde sin berømte tale 28. august 1963, årsdagen for slaveriets avskaffelse, der han ytra orda «I have a dream...».

Best lighting ever: wait until sunset and then right before the sunsets, you'll have direct light to illuminate not only the National Monument but yourself. Stand on either corner in the columns.

The Honest Abe Lincoln Memorial is my absolute favorite. Be sure to take your time and read his writings. Also, spend some time on the steps and take in the scenic views.

Fun to visit and you can bike around the national mall. I enjoyed the grandeur of this and faint memories of my trip during middle school. trying to find the typo in future in the Gettysburg address!

I think it’s an iconic view of DC. It’s one of my favorite spots. So much history on this spot. Half way down the steps there is a marked spot where MLK gave his speech. Must stop.
