Walking from Thomas Jefferson Memorial Tourmobile stop, I noticed this Washington DC Park Police step van.
First side view of the Jefferson Memorial, I'm working my way to the front.
I'll take a look at the tidal basin first.
Another side view of the Memorial, with the impressive columns.
A view across the Tidal Basin at the Washington Monument with a neat reflection in the water.
Another view across the Tidal Basin looking at what I believe to be the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The Capitol Dome can be seen from this view.
Finally, a front view of the Jefferson Monument and I did not get the picture centered or straight.
Very dark inside. The camera auto settings seem to favor the penetrating outside side. It is difficult to get a good picture inside.
A very tall statue. Again the camera adjusts the aperture to outside ambient lighting that makes its way into the room.
Thomas Jefferson 1743-1820 statue pedestal inscription. He was out 3rd president, serving March 4, 1801 to March 4 1809. Aaron Burr was his first term vice president who became famous for shooting Alexander Hamilton in a Weehawken, NJ duel. TJ died July 4, 1826 exactly 50 years after the adoption of the "Declaration of Independence".

More wall inscriptions.
More inscriptions.
I attempted a close up head shot of the statue. I could have really used a tall ladder for this.
It was such a nice day, I see the Tidal Basin paddle boat rental business is picking up.
View of the I-66 road signage, while making my way back to the Tourmobile stop.
One last sun glared photo of the TJ monument area, as I am making my back to the Tourmobile stop. Next stop will be Arlington Cemetery. I wanted to spend a more time at the Visitor's Center and find the location of the Arlington Metro Station.
