Illuminated by spotlights, the Washington Monument gleams against the nighttime sky
Lance Wills (North Charleston, SC)
Photographed April 2007, Washington, DC

Photographing the Washington Monument late one night, Wills watched tourists get up close to stroke the stone. "It struck me that like America itself, the Washington Monument could not be fully appreciated from afar. Its grandeur grows as you approach." — Abigail Tucker
