New fencing

Just one last look (for now, I hope) at the security precautions taken yet again around the US Capitol. Since the January 6 insurrectionists climbed up to this part of the building and managed to get inside from there, the Capitol Police have now erected barriers on that level. It was the first thing we noticed when the fences went up again, and I wanted a picture of it, so here it is.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Such is the state of the union unfortunately.

Sad to see those barriers. Even with the ugly additions the detail and lighting on your image are very impressive.

I can picture the insurrectionists scaling the wall. The calming light is a strong juxtaposition to the rest of the scene. V

Amazing shot. Thankfully all the knuckleheads stayed home.

The light is beautiful and shows up the lovely details of the architecture. Such a shame that the fencing is needed. V

So sad to see these barricades. But after the January 6th insurrection, I see the need. How our society has changed.
