2. Looks like a shot from the top of the Washington Monument? |
|
I have been up there in the viewing area before (way before they had closed it, renovated it, etc, and finally reopened it).

4. Thanks! I was there, about 75 ft behind the last screen on the left! |
|
Great picture, but unfortunately it doesn't show the MANY people who were on the sides of the mall, like those standing on the steps of the National Museum of Art. . .

5. That's a double-plus Woodstock! I hope Beck is seething with rage right now. |

I was 200 feet from the from top monitor on the left side and there wasn't even room for shadows to hit the ground.

8. I think that green is from the trees |
|
The people are underneath it.
Local news said metro stated they usually have 180k riders by 3PM on a normal saturday, they had over 400k today. Thats just metro riders, not to mention all the buses, walkers, and drivers.

13. Holy shit! I thought I was far away, but judging from that picture |
|
I was closer than 80% of the people there.
I was just to the left of that picture, right behind the horizontal blocked off road. I had absolutely no idea the crowd extended that far back. Insane!
