Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

I had never visited the FDR Memorial. I walked there after passing the Jefferson Memorial. Not being familar with the FDR Memorial, it wasn't until I looked it up on the NPS website that I realized I entered the memorial at the exit.

Seeing the FDR memorial at night is not seeing it at its best. Certain "rooms" (four in all, one for each FDR term) are not fully lit, but other features are. One striking feature is the "final" (for me, however, the first) waterfall. It is in the "third" room, which symbolizes the WWII period. The water fall, the NPS says, is symbolic of the destruction of war, with blocks of granite chaotically strewn across the floor near the falls. I, of course, saw conveniently placed solid objects. I suppose I'll have to go back in the daylight.
