Washington Memorial By Night, Washington DC
Here are 2 shots of the Washington Memorial - the first one shows how dark it really was, and the other (clicked 10 minutes later, when it was progressively darker) is the result of my tweaking with the shutter speed and the exposure settings on my Canon S3 IS. See for yourself.
