If the monuments are not lit, what would be a good place to visit ~8PM?
Sunday
morning: stroll around National Mall/ Capitol Hill. See it by day.
The monuments are still lit and you can get very close. I passed through the Mall on my run this evening from west of the Lincoln Memorial past the WWII and Washington Monuments before turning north back toward home. You can take photos, too, and many folks were doing so today just as usual.
