Inauguration photo

Absolutely amazing.  The secret service people stick out like a sore thumb, don't they?  And the snipers supposedly are able to hit someone from over a mile. 

That is very cool. CNN is using Microsofts new 3D modelling software to do that too. It's called "the Moment" and you can click down in to the entire panorama.

Thanks for the link - what a great picture.  Brrr, I'd hadn't thought about how cold it must have been for him without a hat or gloves

Oh, here you are. I posted this in Kvetch because I couldn't find this. This needs to be put in Kvetch anyway, but....

sent it to my dear niece and got this back from her--she's a photographer and a graphic artist, but also has 4 children, 4 dogs, 2 horses, numerous rabbits--and had time to do this!!  She's a dear!!

If you look very carefully at the photo, it is actually mulitple photos seamed together. Will, Mark and I counted about 7 vertical seams and were too lazy to count horizontal seams, but did find a few. There's a pair of walking legs without an owner near the white tower in the right side of the photo, down near a whitish divider/walkway, and we saw a few people missing parts of their faces!
