People keep asking where our brave band of Bonny Eagle bloggers stood to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama.
We were near the front of the first long quadrant -- between Madison Drive and 4th Street -- across from the National Gallery of Art West Wing. We were positioned near the porta-potties, behind the first and closest Jumbotron on the left, but with a good view of the Capitol dome in the distance.
This photo gallery of aerial and satellite shots really gives a good sense of where we were on that incredibly cold, but wonderfully momentous morning. Photo #20 gives a good sense of how close we got, relatively speaking, as well as the size of the crowd. The photos can be accessed here
