Shot on 8mm film in 1975, this vintage home movie captures the Washington Monument rising against an overcast sky, viewed from across the water. The grainy black-and-white footage shows the iconic obelisk, a distant view of the Lincoln Memorial with two women standing beneath its columns, and birds flying overhead. The sequence offers a nostalgic glimpse of sightseeing in Washington DC, with classic film grain and a handheld perspective that evokes mid-20th century Americana.
