Sweet Fancy Moses!

I wanted to start your week off right with another batch of photos. So here we go.

Satby sent these from South Bend:

two special photos I wanted to share. The first sign was held by the youngest girl in a family and the other was my own, representing the people who couldn’t get out to march today.  It was a great, diverse crowd and spirits were high.

From Aaron – 10K+ in Reno:

First time emailer.  First time marcher.  My wife and two daughters joined friends, family and 10K+ others this morning.  News coverage here.

Mingobat (f/k/a Karen in GA):

Walking back to the bus this evening after the march in DC, I saw this discarded sign:  decency on the opposite side of the fence from the Capitol building.

A nice link from Gelfling 545 with some terrific photos from Buffalo – click here.

I’ve put some NSFW photos below the fold, at the bottom of the post.

Still more photos. I am going in order of when I received them, except for this first batch, the top photo was the last photo I received last night. I was so struck by it, had to start with it today. And came with this tag from Leslie:

This was in DC, and there was a small crowd waiting and he was taking up the cameras one by one to take panoramas of the crowd. It’s maybe not a good pic, but it was a very cool scene.

Here are the remainder of her photos (most below the fold):

I also took some from the National Archives steps looking up and down and the mall. It really was incredible, because the mall was this full and there were thousands of people around on the other side on Independence and then we looked over the bridge and there were more on Pennsylvania. What an extraordinary and exhilarating day!

Ok, I have been buried in photos! I’m so very excited and teary with all your pix and stories. I’m trying to see if other front pagers can handle some of the load.  But if not, I’ll just keep posting them over the next several days.

From Randy Khan in DC:

It was a mess. A glorious mess, caused by too many people showing up for the space allotted. So a march that was supposed to be on Independence Avenue spilled over to the Mall, then Constitution Avenue, then Pennsylvania Avenue. Most of us probably didn’t get within a couple hundred feet of the official original route, but I don’t think anybody cared. Local news is saying attendance may have topped 500,000, and Metro ridership was up 8-fold over a normal Saturday, and much more than for Inauguration Day (which, remember, was a work day for some people)

It’s going to be hard for any photos to capture just how many people were there today – but the easiest way to put it is that pretty much the entire Mall area was filled with people.

Kathleen was in Cincinnati and she sent a link to some of the photos, click here.

Lurker David was in Indianapolis:

And finally (though not last for sure!) White Mountain Apache in Tuscon:

For now, I’m posting them in the order they came. There are 50 more emails in my inbox, so more to come.

You all rock so hard! Women Grab Back.

Open thread.

From the Denver March:

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there’s shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

From Dublin (thank you HeleninEire)

From Joey Maloney in Tel Aviv (thank you!):

I’ve been promised some from Amsterdam. I’ll post those when I get them.

As someone said to me this morning – we are not going back – this will have its desired effect, to inspire, cajole and offer hope.  We won’t back down.

Send Anne Laurie and me more pictures! (whats4dinnersolutions at live dot com)
