Help! You have a pic of the Lincoln Mem from Wash Monument post-Speech?

A total longshot, but I wonder if someone on flickr has a picture of my fiance and me, when I proposed to her. It happened right after Lowery finished speaking, on the West slope of the Washington Monument.

If you were taking a picture of the Lincoln Memorial (from the Monument) at the end of the speeches, we might be in it. Post a link to this thread, eh?

This is what we look like: bright red and orange jackets.

Total longshot, I know. Thanks!

There are a couple of shots in my photostream. Not sure that you are in any on them, but I'll leave them up for a bit until you know one way or the other...

I did find you! I can't see your fiance, though- it looks like you are hugging her: flickr.com/photos/glenncara/3218330702/sizes/o/

Look in the center of the picture- you're facing toward the white house, but to the left of the Lincoln Memorial.

That was taken with a 40d- as is, no cropping or post processing. I thought maybe you guys could crop it to include the monuments, and do a B&W for the entire shot, EXCEPT you guys. That way, you stand out?

Wow - congrats - I'm so glad someone was able to help you have a memory of the inauguration AND your engagement. That'll be quite the story to share with your kids someday. Oh - and really, I think that's the most well thought out, romantic proposal I've heard in a long time. :)

This is all so amazing. Saying that, I did spend, ooh, two hours looking for pictures of me that other people may have taken. I found one too... Close up too. What are the chances... Congratulations too!
