All

The Washington Monument is a towering marble-clad obelisk built to honour George Washington, the first President of the United States. It rises from the middle of the National Mall, the capital's great central green space, and is one of Washington's most recognisable symbols. This kind of view typically takes in the monument along with the Mall's lawns, paths and visitors.

Sunrise and sunset change the colour of the stone, and at night the floodlit obelisk stands out against the sky. The spring cherry blossom season and Independence Day celebrations bring large crowds to the area, while winter snow turns the Mall white. The stream is provided by EarthCam.
