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.

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.
These are some of the fireworks that happened today on Inauguration Day for Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris.

Enfin Bruxelles se réveille et fait appel à des artistes pour cacher des chantiers qui, il faut bien le dire, ne sont pas de toute beauté même s'ils sont une nécessité.
Un magnifique exemple de collaboration entre artistes (ASBL URBANA et Interfaces) pouvoirs publics (Ville de Bruxelles), investisseurs du privé (BNP Paribas) Entrepreneurs (De Meuter) et j'en oublie probablement...
Il est à souhaiter que ce ne soit point un "one shot" mais que cela devienne une saine habitude de faire appel à des artistes pour masquer le temps nécessaire les travaux urbains.

A tiny section of the massive crowd that was at the event. We got there around 11:00 a.m. These were a few of the folks behind us.
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.

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
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.

In summer 1993 the Great Arctic Rerserve (Zapovednik) was established at the northern coasts of Taymyr. An international (WWF) delegation took part in the inauguration in Dudinka and in the field. The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas. However, there may be need to connect them by South-North corridors to secure adaptation of biodiversity moving North with climate change. With increased warming and thawing of tundra massive release of methane stored in the ground could trigger further climate change.

Over a 5-day period, Paramahamsa Vishwananda inaugurated a grand temple in Kircheim, Germany, dedicated to Vitthala and Rukmini - the Sri Vitthala Rukmini Shipivishta temple - making it the largest Vitthala temple outside of India.
With 2,000 people coming from all over the world to attend, the majestic celebrations were appreciated by everyone. The local pujari team was kept busy every moment, and one could sense the great dedication they had for their new service.
Guests were immersed in the reverent ceremonies of yajna (Vedic fire rituals) happening in multiple locations, abhishekam (Vedic bathing rituals), and mantra chanting, as well as joyful kirtan (singing), traditional Indian dance, tasty vegan food, and a deep sense of connection to the Divine that was felt throughout the festivities. Near the end, the stunning fireworks display over the lake seemed to express all the excitement, beauty, and awe this unforgettable event contained.
