Last week Kongo visited the National Mall in Washington, DC and took these pictures of the Washington Monument, aka “The Stick” at night. A couple of lifetimes ago when Kongo worked at the Pentagon he used to do a run that left the Pentagon, went along the George Washington Parkway, over the Memorial Bridge, and up the Mall to go around the “stick” then back to the Pentagon.
