An incongruous portrait with Lincoln

Sometimes the best part of having all these photogenic monuments in the city isn't the monuments themselves, but all the random folk who come out to do photo shoots by them. Weddings parties, fashion models, tourists from Oklahoma – all of them line up to get a portrait with President Lincoln. Here, akabyam gets a great shot of some colorful ballerinas on the Mall, waiting patiently to pirouette in front of Honest Abe for the camera.
