A spur of the moment drive-by shot (while Tim held up traffic on Constitution Avenue) of this memorial to COVID victims in the United States.

I’d like to go back to get a better picture, but not sure I’ll be able to, with large crowds on the National Mall on weekends and a possibly armed pro-Trump rally (“Justice for J6”) on Saturday for the so-called “political prisoners” that carried out the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol. Not wise to be anywhere near there that day.

According to The Washington Post (July 15, 2021):

“For three weeks in September, the symbolic heart of Washington will be covered by more than 610,000 white flags, each about a foot tall, representing the American lives lost to covid-19 and holding written memories from loved ones. The flags will be packed tightly into 60-foot-by-60-foot quadrants on 20 acres near the Washington Monument and the National Museum of African and African American History and Culture.

“The installation, “In America: Remember,” created by D.C. artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg and announced Thursday, will also have a virtual component: Volunteers on the ground will transcribe virtual submissions and upload a picture of the flag to the In America website.”

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