What a difference a few hours make

We were actually down on the Mall to visit the US Botanic Garden to see their Christmas display and commemoration of the 100th year of the National Park Service, featuring national parks and historic places. This was the capitol when we came out in the late afternoon, quite different from the picture below taken hours earlier. It really was a goldish-pinkish color.

Getting ready for the inauguration, posted earlier:

It's always all about the light. The tough part is this kind of light is so fleeting.

GOLD ... Mr.T's favorite color ... Imagine, moving to the White House is downsizing!!! Oh well, he'll now call it The Trump White House ... But Melania doesn't want to move there ... should have thought about that first, Mr. T ... and save the world countless nightmares.
