National Guardsmen at the Hart Senate Office Building

They are everywhere – not necessarily in huge groups, but everyplace. My sense is the Capitol and surrounding buildings are well protected, at least for now.

*****

We went down to the US Capitol, or at least as close as we could get, to see what things looked like. I'd have to say it was an almost surreal way to spend a Sunday afternoon -- photographing the many Capitol Police, National Guardsmen, Metropolitan Police, military trucks, police cruiser roadblocks and high fences that now populate our beautiful city. I'm hoping that we can all come together as a country and put a quick end to this kind of thing because this is no way to live.

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

Hopefully we won’t turn into a police state. V

It is a fraught time and I hear the FBI is investigating the National Guard to make sure there are no sympathizers with the Jan 6th mob.
