Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SSPRUX_201229_23.JPG: Sparkling Snowfall From the first flakes touching the ground, to the paper cutouts hanging in our windows, the snowflake is our crystalized symbol of winter and the holiday season. This year’s holiday tree is an embracing celebration of the season’s beauty and individuality. A flock of colorful, unique, and shimmering snowflakes fill the interior of the tree structure, while even more flakes lace the exterior frame of the tree. Bands of transparent blue garland wrap around the structure and flakes, evoking the brisk winds of the season. Each individual snowflake’s geometry and symmetry stands out on their own but come together to create an interwoven blizzard of color and formation. A shining crystalized burst sits atop the tree, capping off the field of suspended snowflakes. A blend of bright, colorful flood lights and blinking lights illuminate the interior of the structure and flakes. All of the elements culminate in a joyous homage to the season, to be enjoyed day and night, up close and afar. About the Artists Re-Imagining the Holidays art installation, Sparkling Snowfall, is a collaboration by acclaimed public artists Michael Cimino and Karl Unnasch with local DMV artists Michelle Izquierdo, Vanessa Smith, and Erick Satchell II.

Signage: You'll see a lot of signs in this group. Eventually, I'll type the text of the signs into the subject description and get rid of the signs themselves. This is pretty slow and tedious work though.

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.
