The limousine eases onto the National Mall and the city flips its daytime script—marble and bronze catching streetlight, reflecting a quieter, more intimate Washington. You step out under a haloed obelisk, camera warm in hand, and the monuments that draw daytime crowds feel larger, their lines and reliefs sharper against the night.
