Map Of Monuments on National Mall

These are photos collected from a trip to Washington D.C. I took this summer. My sister and I rented scooters and went around D.C. on them going from Monument to Monument. 

I would argue that the two most popular monuments when we visited during the day were the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial. The vibe of the monuments during the day is one of celebration and being among others and remembering each memory in that way. I would argue that the location of these memorials' leading to one another along the mall is meant to make a collective memory for them all. Each of the monuments featured are set along the National Mall and are distinctly meant to memorialize a specefic event. When composing my neatline I have come to understand that the location of each being so close the one another is on purpose and creates a collective memory for the entire mall.
