Memorial Amphitheater

Last year when I was in DC I saw this building but I didn't know what it was or what was inside. I was surprised to find an amphitheater. It's a beautiful building with a lot of fun lines and details to photography. I wish I'd read the history of it before I went this year though . . . I would have looked around a lot more than I did. You can read the history and purpose of the amphitheater on the Arlington Cemetery website.
