Getting Ready For The Big Day

The sun came out and the temps rose into the high 40's so I thought I'd get some exercise and go check out all the prep going on downtown. It's a sea of fences and port a potties everywhere you turn.
A most interesting choice of composition. We attended the biterly cold inaugurations day parade of The first President Bush and it was memorable in spite of the cold. I hope you get warmer weather for this one.

Wonderful pov. I love the clouds.

@grammyn might be record breaking warmth but now also looking like rain.

@alophoto still debating . Looks like they are going to be herding people like cattle into fenced pens. Not sure how much I'll be able to even see without tickets . Maybe I could be the parade . They are now calling for rain so just not sure.

Great symmetry... nice patriotic shot!

Great shot. It would be interesting to be there for any inauguration!! I have only been to D.C. once and that's when I was in 8th grade. (So 26 yrs ago)!!!

i read some reports that the donald raised the highest amount of inaugural donations compared to past presidents. perhaps to pay for all the port-a-potties needed. :-)

Great shot!

Wonderful pic! I see the scaffolding is finally off!!

Mmmm...fences and port-a-potties...I'm thinking metaphorically...but this is a beautiful symmetrical shot that conveys the grandeur of the area.

Terrific pov. Love those clouds. Friday should be interesting!

Great photo you've got there. I love the clouds giving you additional stripe pattern.

@summerfield well they do say Don's Johns although most now have duct tape covering the name. Supposedly the Park Service did it saying no advertising on the Capitol grounds but I don't think that's the real reason. I found it interesting that the port a potties lining the monument grounds are from a company called United and the name is not covered.

@photographycrazy I thought the same thing! We were there in 2014 and they told us it had to be off before the Inauguration.
