Description of Pictures: Remembering the lives lost
COVID-19 Bell Toll
On Tuesday, the Cathedral will mark the 300,000 U.S. lives lost to COVID-19 by tolling the Bourdon Bell. Join us on the Cathedral grounds as we toll the bell 300 times, once for every thousand lives lost. While visiting our grounds please remember that masks and social distancing are required. There will be no access to the inside of the Cathedral.

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.
Partially Reviewed: Rough draft. I've gone through these pictures once, removing the worst ones, some duplication, etc. I usually take sequences of 4 or 5 pictures at a time and there are lots of near duplicates. I'll be doing a final review later which will cull the pictures down some. To be honest though, I'm way behind on doing final reviews.
