Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. MALL_170101_019.JPG: Inaugural broadcast booth for CNN
2. MALL_170107_03.JPG: Endless porta-potties for the Trumputin inauguration. Later, the brand names would be covered over because there was a prohibition against it.
3. MALL_170112_01.JPG: Temporary cell phone towers erected for the inauguration
4. MALL_170118_001.JPG: The plastic protective flooring makes the Mall about as white as it would be when the Trump supporters showed up in two days.
5. MALL_170118_010.JPG: Protective plastic panels have been put on the Mall to protect it from damage during the upcoming inaugural crush. It seems appropriate that now even the Mall itself is all white for Trump.
6. MALL_170118_031.JPG: Crowd control is pretty extreme. Those reinforced barriers are about 8 feet high.
7. MALL_170118_040.JPG: Pretty much all of the "Don's Johns" signs had been covered up. The Don's Johns company was upset that the names were being covered over almost immediately after the porta-potties were installed, given that they like the publicity. It's presumed that the inaugural committee is covering them up because of course they're for Donald Trump folks ("Trump Dump" would have been a cool substitute label) but the actual agents in this were unknown. The ones near the Capitol are covered in blue tape. The ones further out are covered in blank white signs.
8. MALL_170118_059.JPG: Gary Sinese Foundation Serving Honor and Need
9. MALL_170118_087.JPG: A few of the tapes had been changed to "Trump Tower" but those were removed pretty quickly.
10. MALL_170217_03.JPG: Evacuation Walk-Out Route

Wikipedia Description: National Mall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Mall is an open-area national park in downtown Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. It is the site of gardens and other greenery along with many Smithsonian museums, national monuments and memorials. The National Mall refers specifically to the land stretching from the grounds of the Washington Monument to the United States Capitol directly to the east. However, the term commonly includes the areas that are officially part of West Potomac Park and Constitution Gardens to the west, and often is taken to refer to the entire area between the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol, with the Washington Monument providing a division slightly west of the center.

Dimensions:

From the Capitol steps to the Lincoln Memorial, the Mall runs 1.9 miles (3.0 km).
From the steps to the Washington Monument, the Mall spans 1.1 miles (1.8 km).
From Grant Statue to Lincoln Memorial, the Mall covers 309.2 acres (125.1 ha).

Landmarks:
1. Washington Monument

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
