Description
This colossal obelisk erected in honor of George Washington as a national memorial in Washington, DC. I captured this image on film during its recent renovation when it was closed to the public for nearly two years. The square base of the obelisk measures 55 feet (17 m) on a side, and the tapering hollow shaft, containing a stairway and elevator to the top, is 555 feet (169 m) high. The cornerstone to the monument was laid on July 4, 1848.
