Day 20 / 365

Duck
Day 20 / 365 by Tony Lynch Photography.
I stayed home from work this morning to watch Barack Obama's Inauguration. What a wonderful speech and such an amazing moment in American history.

I loved hearing people say "Mr. President, Mr. President" as he left the dias. That was equally awesome. :) (Love this pic).

I agreed with Jesse J, this is a Great B and w photograph. the tones in this photo are just well done and i think that it sums up just what ever one was doing on a day like this one.

A day that i think made history for all the right resons, i think that even tho i am not from the U.S, i have great hopes for the furter.

But i most also say that i also love the light in this shot in this room agine well done.

Great picture. I love how intensely you're watching the broadcast. Probably speaks true of a lot of people around the world all watching just as intensely. I know I was.

I had to go to school, so I didn't get to see the speech.

My teacher did show us some stuff from the inauguration though.
We're going to watch the speech tomorrow, I think.
