Lincoln's Words
"The struggle of today, is not altogether for today -- it is for a vast future also. With a reliance on Providence, all the more firm and earnest, let us proceed in the great task which events have devolved upon us."
--Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861
*******
I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, speech, 1865

I have not been to the Washington D.C. site but have visited his burial site in Illinois several times. It is a very special place...a wonderful historical image you captured.
Lucinda Walter replied:
Gary, thank you very much. We were there in 1976 and again in 2015 as we wanted to see the war memorials. It has so much history and we loved our time there.

I was here at this amazing memorial once.... but in the daytime. I love your evening perspective of the Lincoln Memorial Lucinda. You captured it perfectly and exposed it spot on. :-) FV
Lucinda Walter replied:
Nick, thank you very much. It was amazing to be there at night. So many people there so the only shot was up....
