Night Photography of Washington D.C.
While spending a few weeks in the nation’s capital I decided to go visit a few of the famous sites and get some photos at night. You often see pictures of these famous monuments in the day, but I would argue that they are most beautiful after dark.
You also have the added benefit that there is almost no one around if you go after 10pm, especially on a weekday. So, here they are for your viewing amusement.
The Washington Monument:
The Jefferson Memorial:
The Library of Congress:
Entrance to Arlington National Cemetery:
If people seem to find these interesting I’ll go back and take photos of more of the monuments. But it’ll take quite a few comments from interested people to get me to dedicated many more hours to driving around DC after dark…
One email per post. Twenty years of this, still going. Unsubscribe whenever.
Thanks for this info. Really appreciate it……….
I am a Photographer here in South Florida http//:www.paulopics.com and I loved the idea of night shots. Sometimes when I go for day shots, there are to many people around the monuments.
Great pictures

No there is no curfew. I took these photos around 11pm or so, but I’ve been down there much, much later.
Have fun!
John
Nice images, I will be traveling in that direction in the near future and was wondering if there is a curfew after certain hours. I usually start out after eleven pm and finish up after sunrise.
thanks
beautiful pictures! I prefer night shots too :)
Arlington is the only cemetery I know of that is also a tourist attraction…
