Description
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, DC, is made up of four sections, or rooms, each symbolizing one of his terms as president. If you go there, it would be helpful to read about the memorial before you go, because a lot of the symbolism is obscure, at best.
I believe this wall has to do with the Great Depression. It was made to be both tactile and visual, in order to be accessible to people with visual disabilities as well as to the general population.
This group of students seemed to be enjoying the content, as well as the interesting lighting. Me? I was all about the lighting. :)

the lighting is just perfect for this! It makes me curious about this memorial... so great that you did the link about!
Amazing quality at this ISO. Top notch low light image and a great atmosphere!
beautiful candid capture
A really good half light shot Tara.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered. Bewitched by the quality of the low-light night shot, bothered...not at all, bewildered by the tactile metal work on the wall behind the kids. What a fun night that was...worth every penny:)
Super shot T nice one my friend!!
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Excellent exposure.
Of course it was all about the lighting for you... it's what you do best. Great capture. It's also good to see some young people finding out what it took to make this country.
Very atmospheric low light shot, as if they were walking around an underground tomb. At first glance, I thought these people were walking around with flashlights & I thought "What a cool idea for a museum - have a bunch of dark, hard to find exhibits & give everyone a flashlight & let them explore"...
My God....... They're actually looking at the displays in the museum! And not texting someone on their phones! I only see one girl holding a phone, and it looks like she's taking a photo.. There may be hope for our species, yet.....
This is wonderful lighting, and you've captured it perfectly, Tara!
An outstanding shot considering the low light.
This is a really brilliant shot. You captured this low light perfectly. Dont think I could do that. But what is on the wall, made me curious. Your words "Me? I was all about the lighting" Made me giggle, both because what you meant, but also because you "sounded" exactly like a lady in a game, I play called "Fallout 4". Yup, I am a gamer :-P
superb capture !
Absolutely magical! I wish once again that I was a traveller.
A super low light capture!!!
Interesting information Tara. The lighting makes the picture!
This is an intriguing piece. Even without an explanation the image stands on it's own merits.
very good night shot
Looks like a scifi scene with a great atmosphere.
