Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NNAVM_201109_001.JPG: National Museum of the American Indian Museum entrance National Native American Veterans Memorial
2. NNAVM_201109_037.JPG: National Native American Veterans Memorial This memorial recognizes American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian men and women who have served in every branch of the United States Armed Forces, from the Revolutionary War to the present day, and the support and sacrifices of their families. The memorial's symbols represent concepts important to many Native cultures: the cardinal directions; the elements of water, fire, earth, and air; and the circle. The fountain at the center evokes a drum. On it rests an upright ring—an opening to the sky and the spiritual world. Four lances provide places where visitors can tie prayer cloths. Commissioned by the United States Congress, the memorial was designed by Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes), a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and Butzer Architects and Urbanism. It was built through generous support of individuals, corporations and foundations, and Native nations. All offerings will be viewed as temporary and removed from the site in an appropriate and respectful manner.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11 and then the BLM protests started followed by the child president trying to steal the election in November. Trump's handling of the pandemic has been a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and increasing the deaths here. As the chant goes -- Hey, hey, POTUS-A; how many folks did you kill today? Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
