New normal for the US Supreme Court

We went down to the Capitol to see how things looked after the inauguration. A lot of the National Guard troops were gone, although some are staying for the impeachment trial, and the Capitol Police weren‘t so much in evidence on the street. Some of the roadblocks were gone, but the fences have stayed, perhaps even more fortified than before.

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

No justice for all. V

A jarring juxtaposition to be sure, well done.

This photo says so much. V

Intriguing shot of a sad situation Helen! V

Those sharp barb wires certainly have deterrant effects and should stay there for a long period...V

I hope we don't have to live like this forever. So sad to see. V

Sadly it now looks like a barrier on a prison yard.
Liz Bickel25-Jan-2021 11:06
Looks like some places I've been in South America.
I never dreamed that the USA would ever come to this. How very sad.

Well composed image. I hope it is not the "New Normal" but a temporarily measure. !V

So crazy when a court must be protected like that.

It does not even come close to any "normal" anymore. I am afraid if the impeachment of a "former" president goes forward unrest and division will continue or get worse.
joseantonio25-Jan-2021 04:36
a lovely POV to show the new "normality"...V

A heart-breaking scene in the capital of the USA.

I hate that term! I fear for the future.

A sad situation Helen. At least the pigeons on the roof remain watchful as always.
LynnH25-Jan-2021 01:20
It will most likely be the new normal... razor wire and armed guards. Sad. V

a harrowing sight....discontent has been festering for years, the threat of violence growing. and occsionally breaking out...this scene speaks volumes about the current state of the country..

The new normal?
Mairéad24-Jan-2021 22:34
An ominous looking image - tack sharp as well. V
Isabel Cutler24-Jan-2021 22:25
Excellent statement with the razor wire in focus. V.

Not very normal. Nic shot.
