Right before Chrismas around the Mall

It's that time of the year, the sun sets earlier, and the temperature drops fast. But it is right before Christmas.  The white house has a new Christmas tree, the stores and hotels also put out their Christmas holiday decorations.  The air is crispy clean, and the sun and tree still give beautiful colors.
The mall is no longer crowded, so it is a great time to go out enjoy the Mall and get into holiday spirits!
Enjoy these photos take before and after the sun set around the National Mall.
