Washington DC at Night, 2

We did a night tour of several monuments near the mall and here are a few pics from that night...after the first pic which was taken yesterday evening after a very emotional day of mourning for the victims and families of the Las Vegas shooting.

Everywhere we looked in the city, flags were at half mast, including the Canadian embassy on Pennsylvania Ave.

late afternoon, Oct 2, 2017, our capital mourns for the loss of life in Las Vegas
