About this activity
Washington DC is one of the most photogenic cities in the country, especially at night! Most of its monuments look even better at night than they do in the daytime. This special photo safari designed for smartphone users takes you to DC’s best-known memorials after dark and shows you where and how to take great pictures with a phone!
The safari begins with a van pickup outside the exit of the Federal Center Metro station on the Blue Line. Drive by the Ulysses Grant statue to photograph the beautiful West Front of the US Capitol building at night. From there it's up Pennsylvania Avenue and on to the lovely architecture of the North Portico of the White House, seen from Lafayette Park with its illuminated fountain.
Your next stop is the Tidal Basin parking lot to capture the iconic Jefferson Memorial, reflected in the waters of the Tidal Basin. The final stop is in front of the Lincoln Memorial, with its famous view down the Reflecting Pool of the Washington Monument and the US Capitol. You'll also photograph the magnificent Lincoln Statue sculpted by Daniel Chester French, beautifully illuminated in white light. You'll end at the nearby Albert Einstein Memorial for a group photo before your dropped off at the Foggy Bottom Metro on the Blue/Orange/Silver Line.
