Shot on 8mm film in 1961, this vintage home movie captures a hazy, overcast view of the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington DC. The footage, framed by a dark window border, shows the iconic obelisk rising above the tree line with the pool in the foreground. Three small figures stand near the water's edge, their forms blurred by the film's grain and age. The muted color palette and soft focus evoke a nostalgic, archival feel, offering a rare glimpse of the nation's capital during the early 1960s.
