Inauguration Stairs

While visiting Washington, DC, we had a chance to take a tour of the Capitol Building this afternoon. What an amazing historical and architectural structure.

According to our tour guide, every US President has walked down these stairs on the way to his inauguration ceremony since inaugurations began. Standing there was profound.

Thank you for your kind comments on my shot from yesterday, the period actors in the Smithsonian. They were adorable and I am happy that they were well received.:)

Thank you for stopping by... I read and appreciate every comment. Take care, all!

An enormous weight of responsibility falls on their shoulders with each step down these stairs. Very sober and stately place.
