The Jefferson Memorial rises over the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., and this view catches it after dark, when floodlights pick out its white marble dome and colonnade against the black water. The memorial was dedicated in 1943, on what would have been Thomas Jefferson's 200th birthday, and was designed by John Russell Pope in a neoclassical style meant to echo Jefferson's own architecture at Monticello and the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. Viewed across the basin, the building's reflection doubles its outline, one of the reasons the spot has become a favorite for night photographers and visitors alike.
