Inauguration day preparations... This is right in front of the White House. This was for the president and the one below was the press box. They were directly across from each other.
The White House.
The Lincoln Memorial. Preparing for an inauguration concert. Notice the lighting scaffolding with the sniper tower on top! There was a tower on either side of the stage and they were hauling up bags of weapons while I watched and there were agents up in them watching the construction of the additional staging. It was pretty sweet to watch. Lots of special forces on duty here.
The presidential motorcade passed by. By the time I got my camera out of my bag it had pretty much passed but it was cool. I never realized how many vehicles were involved with the transporting of the president and they drive FAST!
The Capitol. This is where Obama gave his inauguration speech. Ok not right where I was standing- there is no zoom on the iphone so it is way up where the flags are on the capitol.
Me in front of the other side of the Capitol.
The Capitol
This was the real scene! Thousands of porta potties! Chain link fences and cement barriers!

Love the photos! Washington is one of the places I want to visit in the States - but I guess I'll have to live the visit through you!
Can you send me an e-mail to my gmail account please? I don't have your e-mail ...
Have fun!
