The Inauguration was over a week ago, but I wanted to share this panorama by photographer David Bergman. If you haven't seen it you should look, it's pretty cool. http://gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?auth=033ef14483ee899496648c2b4b06233c And if anyone is curious about what it was actually like to attend the inauguration you should look at Jeff's blog - www.jeffmentzer.com - where he shares a good recount of his January 20th on the National Mall.
