I parked in one of the forbidden spaces below the Capitol grounds late Sunday afternoon (Jan. 11) just long enough to fire off two frames of the West Front of the Capitol, where preparations for the Inaugural are moving apace. For now, tourists still can roam the paths.

I parked in one of the forbidden spaces below the Capitol grounds Sunday Jan. 11 at dusk just long enough to fire off these two frames of the West Front, where preparations for the Inaugural are moving apace. For now, tourists still can roam the paths. On the big day, there will be five flags hanging between those pillars. The new president will take the oath on the balcony where the balustrade juts out (lower middle, to left of the photographers' platform). Chairs already are in place on the Capitol lawn
