Look what I saw on the east shore of Lake Berryessa, on inauguration day! Not close enough for a great picture, but still I hope shows a favorable augury.

I'm pleased to announce that this shot was 'Highly Commended' by the judges of the Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year 2012 competition in the Urban Category. Hugely chuffed about this. It's going to be on display as a printed copy at the National Theatre in London from the 12th November until the 12th January 2013. The shot also appeared in yesterdays Sunday Times - which is just fabulous - over the moon.
Apparently the book is out already - I haven't seen a copy - but judging from the shots in the Times yesterday its going to be fabulous - some really amazing shots - very much looking forward to seeing them.
As for the shot - well this was pretty much the last shot before my ill fated trip to the bottom of the Thames on the Shard's Inauguration night, so its the last shot I have with my D300 - which was smashed up in the fall. It was taken from across the river - slightly elevated along with hundreds of other photographers - I was surprised at just how many had turned out - it seems such a long time ago now.

Senator Bernie Sanders, wearing his inauguration mittens, is apparently sitting in Fort Lowell Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA.
You can have him sit where you want him:

NBC News Article:
Wearing mittens made out of recycled materials and a warm winter jacket, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders pulled off a casual inauguration outfit — and vibe — that only he could.
Many people quickly highlighted the 79-year-old independent Vermont senator's look, and created endless memes, from Wednesday's inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, which he said was more about keeping warm than fashion.
The image of Sanders sitting alone in his chair waiting for the inauguration to begin took on a life of its own as people dropped him into some unlikely scenarios. Twitter hero Nick Sawhney made it even easier and created a site to superimpose a cold Bernie Sanders wherever you want.
Sawhney's site uses Google Maps Street View to place an image of Sanders sitting in his chair for the inauguration and wearing his mittens, allowing people to bring the meme to a location of their choosing.

I made a website where you can put Bernie in places using google maps street view. Enjoy!

Sanders’ mittens were made by a Vermont elementary school teacher who has a side business making mittens out of recycled wool.
Post-inauguration, we decided it was easier to walk back to Virginia rather than try to fight for a spot on the shuttle bus or metro train. They had mostly blocked off the 14th Street bridge for pedestrians to do just that. I think we had about a mile left to go at this point.
Yesterday my brother in law got installed as Professor, of course I took some pictures... :-)
We are all very proud on his achievement!
These are some of the fireworks that happened today on Inauguration Day for Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris.
inaugurate verb: to put something into use
Turn up on election day in Australia and I'll bet London to a brick on you'll be offered a democracy sausage. There'll be equal odds that it will be cooked on a flat barbecue plate by someone from a local service club or school auxiliary, slapped diagonally on a piece of square, fluffy, characterless, sliced white bread, buried beneath undercooked onions if you're there early, or cremated ones if you're there late, and garnished with dead horse.
celebrate verb: to honour or praise
The sausage is a wondrous thing; a mystery bag of bits and pieces — whether it's upper class or as down-to-earth as a Scottish haggis. It is never celebrated more democratically than when it's laid down in the embrace of a bun, dressed here in a simplified form that you might encounter in København; a world away from the queue to vote.
This wiener is a pale simulacrum of the frankfurter it could be. Stuffed with ground bits rejected then selected for their inferiority, and wrapped in a dyed orange/brown skin, it'll have to do for this inauguration. Dressing this dog is the first, the inaugural task of a new batch of red kraut — fermented in the Danish-style with fennel seeds. The mustard is sweet, in the Swedish-style, and the onions are just a few metres from where they grew in this green land.
commemorate verb: to mark or celebrate
Here's to the not so humble hotdog! It commemorates its disparate parts, its humble origins in Germany, its adoption and adaptation around the World, symbol of getting together, getting along and the whole made better than the sum of its parts.

Architect: Roger Gonthier (1884–1978)
[EN] Limoges-Bénédictins is the main railway station of Limoges. It is situated on the Orléans–Montauban railway. It was named Bénédictins due to the presence of a Benedictine monastery closed during the French Revolution.
On 21 November 1918, the Limoges city council and CF du PO signed an agreement regarding the construction of a new station. Work lasted from 1924 and 1929. The station was inaugurated on 2 July 1929.
Bénédictins station was designed by architect Roger Gonthier. A particularity of the station is that it was built over the ten railway lines as opposed to next to them. A large 90 by 78 metre platform was built over the line to support the station building.
The building is made of a concrete bone structure, filled in with limestone. The dome which covers the passenger concourse is made of a metallic framework, covered in copper.
On the Southwest corner is a 67-metre-tall (220 ft) clock tower composed of thirteen levels. It is mounted by a dome itself mounted by a five-metre-tall (16 ft) vase. Below these are four 4-metre-wide (13 ft) clocks.

[FR] La gare de Limoges-Bénédictins est une gare ferroviaire française, la principale des deux gares de la commune de Limoges, dans le département de la Haute-Vienne, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Principal nœud du Limousin avec 1,6 million de voyageurs annuels, elle est située au cœur d'une étoile ferroviaire à huit branches, au carrefour de quatre lignes la reliant à Paris via Châteauroux et Orléans, Toulouse via Brive et Montauban, Poitiers via Le Dorat, Angoulême et Périgueux. Elle est également une gare routière régionale.
Ouverte en 1856 par la Compagnie du Paris-Orléans, à la mise en service du prolongement vers le sud de la ligne venant d'Orléans au-delà d'Argenton-sur-Creuse, une première gare demeure en service plus de soixante-dix ans. Elle est remplacée par le bâtiment actuel, inauguré en 1929. Chef-d’œuvre éclectique d'architecture régionaliste et symbole de la ville, l'esthétique de celui-ci emprunte autant à un Art nouveau tardif, qu'à l'Art déco et au néoclassicisme, et à ce titre fait l’objet d’une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 15 janvier 1975.
La gare de Limoges-Bénédictins est aujourd'hui une gare de la Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) desservie par les trains des réseaux Intercités, TER Centre-Val de Loire et TER Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

No matter what your politics are, today is a historic day... marking the first time I have ever gotten up before sunrise to take pictures :) A few days ago, my cousin told me a story about my grandfather who went to the Inauguration every four years regardless of who won. I thought that was such a great custom, I had to try it for myself.

So I spent the day in DC during the inauguration just allowing the day to take me where it would. Met a lot of nice folks on both sides of vastly differing opinions. All ballpoint. All in-situ. Very lucky with the weather. www.newsillustrator.com
