Inauguration Day on the National Mall, In Pictures
These pictures span seven hours at the nation’s Capitol beginning at 5:30 a.m. on January 20th, 2009. Even though these are mostly crowd shots, I recommend taking a moment and looking at people’s expressions. Other than that, the pictures and captions speak for themselves.
