Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BLDG_040425_053.JPG: This is about the only chance you'll have to see the little busts in that top row.
2. BLDG_040425_077.JPG: The outside of the building features artillery and flaming cannon balls
3. BLDG_040425_091.JPG: The mule driver is clearly black. These are the only civilians that you see in the frieze.
4. BLDG_040425_093.JPG: More in the way of military themes
5. BLDG_040425_107.JPG: There are slight variations in the frieze. The guy in the middle has a pipe in his mouth on this panel. The same character appears five characters to the right of him, this time without a pipe.
6. BLDG_040425_108.JPG: More variation. These two panels are duplicates of one another. The one on the right, however, has a character removed.
7. BLDG_040425_130.JPG: This is the panel where the sculptor of the frieze, Caspar Buberl, etched his name.
8. BLDG_040425_156.JPG: A sign etched in the wall says: "AD 1883, President of the United States Chester A. Arthur, Vice President Geo. F Edmunds, Speaker of the House of Representatives J Warren Kiefer, Secretary of the Interior Henry M Teller, Commissioner of Pensions William W Dudley. Population of the United States 54,272,738. Revenue of the United States 398,287,582 dols. Appropriation for military and naval pensions 99,450,000 dols. New pension office architect Gen Montgomery C Meigs, USA."
9. BLDG_040425_298.JPG: If you look closely, you can see the Presidential seal on the floor

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
