Inauguration Photos

Moonliner · 01-20-2009, 04:27 PM

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!

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)
