What makes a good sunset in Washington DC?
Washington DC's flat Potomac River basin gives you wide western sky and iconic foreground in every direction. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool catches the sunset sky when conditions are calm. The Arlington Memorial Bridge puts you over the Potomac with the monuments behind you. Fall post-front evenings are the standout nights: Canadian air pushes the humidity out fast and leaves the monuments razor-sharp against a vivid sky. The roof of the Kennedy Center is an underrated elevated position looking back toward the Mall.
