Inauguration Photos
 

Here are a few photos from my trip to the Obama Inauguration....



I made it out of the metro about 10:45am. No sign of the crowds yet.


A few blocks later I made it to the Mall Proper in the general vicinity of the Vietnam memorial, still not too bad.


So let's see how close I can get.... Oh ohh.


It took some time, but I managed to worm my way to where I wanted to be. Right in front of the Washington Monument looking down the mall.


From my vantage point I was able to see the swearing in (sort of)


All the way back to the Lincoln


The White House


and the snipers


And of course, lots of other people


I think this might be my favorite shot of the day. Moving trucks at the White House. Goodbye Georgie boy!

I love the shot of everyone with their cameras up! Thank you for posting these.

awesome photos!!!! thanks for sharing!

kind of like being there without the 'freezing my ass off' part

thanks for those!

Ps....

I picked up a bunch of buttons on the Mall today. If you would like one drop in on the freecycle thread for details....

Oh, and one note for CP....

When GW was announced, the crowd broke into a chorus of..

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, Goodbye!

(Really, No kidding)

:D

Wow great shots! You are one lucky guy...:)

Thanks for braving the crowds and the cold, just so we could all be there too;) Great pics of everything!

Just like being there.....thanks!

You know, I totally saw Moonliner on TV.







Just kidding.
:D

Awesome pics! Moonie.

Legoland changes it's display of the US Capitol...or giants have invaded D.C..:D

Awesome! Thanks for being the eyes of LoT at the event!

Great pics! Thanks for posting them.

I heard that while we were watching it, and the singing was especially loud when Bush took off in the helicopter. It's funny, I think that if I were there, I would probably have been singing it too, but as it was, it kind of looked low class. I guess I'm not above low class. ;)

Thanks for posting, and being there! Seeing the massive crowd on TV was breathtaking, and you helped make it so.

thanks for sharing the event with us !

Thanks a million for posting this!
