8. Funny, ain't it?
All that "honor and dignity" done shrunk it. Wonder why that is?

"Honey, I shrunk the White House..."

38. And there's that green place on the ellipse where nobody is...
Do they keep a portion roped off to keep the grass growing?

23. Oh?
I guess people using numbers like 30 and 2000 didn't tell the truth then :/.

Seriously, the pic is really beautiful and it was fantastic to see the American people voicing their protest.

34. Yes, I saw you at once. You were wearing a T-shirt, and had
a little camera, or was it a phone, and you were standing and walking with a lot of people. You were standing by a sign or near a booth. Or sitting on a curb or some bit of grass. You had a hat in your hand, or maybe on your head. A pack of some sort, I think it was dark green.

I couldn't pick out the color of the jacket. Maybe it was a denim shirt; tricky.

I'm green.

36. You're right!
I was wearing my Frank Zappa for President shirt, carrying my canvas sketch bag, with my denim jacket hanging on it!
You are so perceptive.

19. And Some.
A local asked if I heard about this, today. She was "amazed" to read that over 100,000 people were there.

I told her, "it was way, way, way more!" She believed me, but ticked at the total lack of MSN reports.

39. True
there were people at the other 2 set-ups: Camp Casey and United for Peace. Also many people were arriving later by bus or after being stuck at Penn Station NY waiting for Amtrak, etc.

24. Great pic!
To give an idea of how many more were there: The street at the bottom of the pic extends to the left for quit a little ways and was just as packed with people. Also, to the bottom left, just below the street was another park that had a lot of people.

Now for the intersection of the bottom right, where you see three of the four corners. The corner that you don't see is a huge park/field where Camp Casey DC was located. It too had a ton of people in it.

I don't know how far backed up with people was the street at the bottom coming from the right, I had joined the march after listening to many of the speeches:)

31. I swear that's less than 1/2 the crowd.
maybe a quarter at most. i could see that many people when i cut across the park across from the whitehouse, and they went again that far in the distance to the capital. and then they were turning a corner and coming back.

33. I'm guessing that's code pink right there on the street under the ellipse
Kind of in the center, code pink and the Great Wall of China, only 2 things visible from space.
