    Interesting that most of the crowd appears to be men.
  • Daimon Eklund said:
    They are on the East side of the Capitol building, the opposite side presidents now use for inaugurations. This side faces the Library of Congress, Supreme Court and residential Capitol Hill.

    I did a montage "mashup" a few months ago after I returned from a trip to DC. The base photo is from the LOC (although not yet here in The Commons) and is of the crowd at Lincoln's Second Inauguration:

    There is a story, that I have seen in a number of places that says that when Lincoln approached the podium to deliver the address, a shaft of light broke through the clouds illuminating the Capitol step[s like a divine spotlight.

    interesting.. i had not seen a photo of him with his hair like that. he looks very different.
  • Benjamin Smith said:
    He looks like he just got his hair blown dry. Cool to see a different view of him. Wish I could see it in 3-D as intended
  • Eric Schmeric said:
    bsmif: Look at it, then cross your eyes until the two images meet in the middle. You'll see a 3D version of it.
  • ISO1977 said:
    yeah! the 3d effect works! i would love to see all of these at a larger res, to really see details
  • Richard said:
