The Lincoln Memorial is a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln Memorial
The Memorial to Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was constructed as a monumental commemoration of the sixteenth President, who saw the nation through a divisive war and preserved the union. While the statue contained within is one of the best known public sculptures in the United States, the prominent setting and classical-revival design of the building have combined to produce an American icon, the location of celebrations and demonstrations.

What a striking image. Thank You!
Yes, a most impressive structure. It also holds special memories for one of our editors---her dad worked for the parks dept., and would often take her to visit the Lincoln Memorial. Thank you Christian for stopping by and commenting.
